I've now bought and used 30-40 eSIMs in various countries and some are better than others. But by far, Airhub is the WORST. Did not work at all in some countries that were advertised (Canada/Monaco) and customer support was a bang-your-head against-a-wall situation.

NEVER AGAIN.

LinkeSIM

SIM was good until 8.5/10GB used and 10 days into a 30 day validity.

It stopped working after 10 days and refused to give data, even though I emailed support and there was at least 1GB left

- it works well with local providers, 5G
- the app is not that good though, you can’t see you esim data there, only purchase the plan; QR code is being delivered by email so you should have 2 devices to be able to install the eSIM
- the biggest surprise (negative) was the the plan is recurring, with no reminders it just renews for the next 29 days, no option to cancel in the app — need to email the support

RedteaGO

I recently traveled to France and used the RedteaGO eSIM package. I was really impressed with the experience. The price was very affordable, and the internet speed was fast. I especially appreciated being able to save money by using the esimdb discount code. It was a great choice for my trip. I highly recommend RedteaGO to anyone traveling to France.

At first ESIM wouldn't install. it was my WiFi which blocked its activation, so I used another WiFi and managed to add the ESIM. then it had no internet access and support helped me:

We recommend configuring our APN by doing the following:
1. Tap Settings
2. Tap Connections
3. Tap Mobile Networks
4. Tap Access Point Names
5. Tap the Menu button
6. Tap New APN.
7. Tap the Name field, write Globalesim
8. Tap the APN field, write internet
9. Leave all other fields empty / blank
10. Tap the Menu icon (3 dots)
11. Tap Save
After, please restart your phone giving it several minutes in order to allow it to properly reconnect to a network.

Genuine scam. Sim doesn’t work. Data doesn’t work. Customer service is awful. Had to threaten bank intervention.
Wish I could give it 0 stars.

Pretty good experience overall, the internet breakouts mentioned in their data plan are accurate. One issue I encountered was when switching between network it takes a minutes to few minutes to get a connection back.

The internet works fine. However, I was never informed about the amount of the fee I agreed to pay on top (it was almost 10% which is quite substantial). 5 star for the internet, 1 star for the (missing) transparency.

Save even more if you switch currency to GBP and then use esimdb3off. Get 3 GBP off instead of 3 USD or 3 CAD. I got a 5GB esim for europe for 30 days for 2.50 GBP or about $4.50 CAD.

At first I was very sceptical of this service never ever having hearing of it. With all the sales it made the purchase price cheaper than competitors. I used it in Europe and Asia. Full 5G coverage. Data lasted. Worked very well. Just amazing how easy it was to set up and use. I'll definitely be using it again when I travel next.

I wouldn't recommend this provider. The network worked occasionally, but it was very unreliable. Even in downtown Rome, the internet would sometimes just stop working. It didn't work at all in a small village in France. My sister, who had bought a physical SIM card, saved us multiple times. It's frustrating not to have internet when you need it for traveling, especially when you've paid for it.

I bought the 7 days unlimited data plan for France, I watched YouTube, NBA live stream, and it was very smooth.

Also the price is very reasonable unlike other unlimited data plan provider.
