“I feel completely scammed. This provider's services either don’t work at all, or when they do, you can’t even load Google. After reaching out to their support, I only received basic instructions that are only helpful if you set up the eSIM incorrectly – which wasn’t the case, as I set it up properly. When I tried to address the deeper issue, they started ignoring me. In the end, I had to purchase services from another provider just to get a reliable Wi-Fi connection. I definitely cannot recommend this provider to anyone.”
