Had to buy another eSIM from a different provider for more $$.

It didn't work for me because the app limits usage to specified phone models. I tried to use it on an Infinix Smart 8 and it's not compatible, then on a Samsung A34 and still not compatible. I recommend expanding the list of models with access to eSIM so it can be more widely used

Bought an e-sim to use in Cuba but it doesn’t work. After connecring to a wifi to install it i get a message thaf the QR code i received ia not valid. The app also does not seem to work here. Be careful!

Writing this with review in Nov 2024, using GlobaleSIM on my iPhone. After successfully testing Gigsky I went with the cheapest price/GB. It worked well in the cities I visited: Baracoa, ImÃas, San Antonio, Guantánamo.
I noticed two differences, which indicate having both eSIMs improved my connectivity:
1. The phone shows 4G (GlobaleSIM) instead of LTE (Gigsky).
2. In one remote area with no GlobaleSIM connection I still had network with Gigsky.
In my case the payment via Paypal got stuck, but I assume this was a one-off. The GlobaleSIM support was super friendly and helpful during the extra week this took.

Writing this review in Nov 2024 using a GigSky esim on my iPhone. It has worked well in Guantánamo, ImÃas, and right now in Baracoa. After changing my location I often have to enable/disable Flight Mode to get a working internet connection (LTE symbol). This might be a quirk of the cuban cellular network.

Worst eSim we've ever used and we have travelled a lot and used many different eSims around the world. This was a complete waste of money. Even thought we seemed to be connected to LTE most of the time we couldn't actually download anything, send messages, or surf the web at all.
We couldn't even download the mandatory update to the GigSky app because the connection didn't actually work.
There are more than 30 travel eSIM brands and more than 250 prepaid data plans available for use in Cuba, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that fits their needs.
Yesim offers unlimited data eSIM plans for Cuba that are valid for anywhere from one to seven days. The plans are priced between roughly $53.18 and $171.35 USD, depending on the chosen validity period. While the data allowance is unlimited, speeds may be subject to throttling during peak usage times. Travelers should consider this when estimating their data needs and selecting a plan that offers the requested duration and data freedom.
Cuba does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); therefore, all mobile services are provided directly by ETECSA.
Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS capabilities for Cuba are available from GlobaleSIM, Earth Esim, and Roamify. GlobaleSIM offers several options, ranging from 1 GB to 15 GB, with validity between 7 and 30 days, inbound and outbound voice, and inbound SMS. Earth Esim supplies a 20 GB plan for 30 days that allows inbound and outbound voice and SMS, while Roamify offers a 1 GB plan for 30 days that includes 10 outbound calls and 50 SMS, also with inbound and outbound voice and SMS support.
The phone numbers on GlobaleSIM plans carry the Cuban dialing code +1, giving travelers a local number. In contrast, Earth Esim and Roamify use the French dialing code +33, meaning the numbers are not local to Cuba. Prices for these offerings start around $14 and rise to $100, with data caps and validity periods varying across the three providers.
