“On the website they have misleading informations, for the package that I have purchased - 15 Days Unlimited Data Europe, on the same page it says it supports Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, and also this countries are missing from the list of supported countries with flags.. I contacted support and they explicitly confirmed that it works there.
Once I reached the Hungary, I had no data, because my eSIM could connect only to 2G networks. I reached the support again but they told me that my eSIM is blocked due to misuse. But how can I connect with it to 2G then?! They didn't told me what was the misuse.
I asked for refund but they closed the chat thread, since I got the answer, but no service and for my work more importantly no internet.”

Yoho Mobile Hungary

“It does what it says on the tin. Good for messaging only, even pictures could be hard to transfer.
Websites are throttled down heavily so finding out about timetables can be an issue.
It's only good for those who can plan well ahead (offline maps, saved timetables etc.) and think about it like bridge between two WiFi hotspots.
Piecewise unbeatable though.”
