“Horrible experience. I was never able to activate the eSIM. I kept getting kicked out as the app attempted to register on different networks. I followed dozens of troubleshooting steps with customer service, all without success. I escalated the issue twice, but it was never resolved. I ended up spending four hours of my vacation trying to get it to work.
In the end, I purchased another eSIM from a different provider — it worked like a charm. I even bought another one for use in Panama, which also worked flawlessly and was incredibly easy to activate.

Avoid this service like the plague. It feels like a scam. Even the app looks like an online casino, not a professional eSIM provider.

Horrible experience. Never again. I lost $25 on the Global XL plan, which I never got to use.”
