See what travelers are saying about their Asia eSIM experience. Real feedback from real users to help you pick the best plan for your trip.
“I purchased an eSIM from Yatelo for India, 5 GB for 30 days. It worked for only one week, I had used up only 0.5 GB of my data and it stopped working. No more Internet all day in different locations.
I wasted about 40 minutes with their online support, they suggested endless things to try, none of them got the eSIM working again. They then refused to refund the money, saying they were escalating to the engineers. ”
“I bought 4 esim for Japan travel. Very bad experience. For the first day, it auto connected to Softbank service, and extremely slow and lost connection from time to time. Checked the usage, it's less than 1GB usage. The customer support was useless. Will not buy it again”
“I do not recommend this site for purchase. Before purchasing, I came across a number of negative reviews, but I decided to try my luck anyway. Here's my experience: In Uzbekistan, everything worked perfectly for one day, but the speed was terrible on the second day. In South Korea, everything worked well, but in China, everything worked well for two days, and then the internet simply disappeared, even though I still had plenty of data and time left. There is no support, and the AI agent responds by saying that I am doing something wrong.”
“Bought 3 of their Hong Kong & Macau 7 day eSIMs and none of them worked on my Google Pixel 9A and Pixel 10 phones, they ended up gave me one replacement eSIM from a different vendor and refunded the other two. My relatives bought 4 of their 7 day Hong Kong only eSIMs around the same time as me and they all worked flawlessly.”
“The application is good and the coverage depends on chosen supplier. Some suppliers are good, others need to be enhanced. The speed and coverage depends on the service provider and on the country infrastructure. Rate is acceptable.”
“I bought it for my short trip in Kazakhstan and got great experience due to routing in United Kingdom (most of eSIM providers use Singapore routing that is really slow in Kazakhstan). On LTE I've got 50-100 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload speed.
So I definitely recommend buying this one for Kazakhstan to get stable connection without issues.”
“Hello, I purchased an unlimited data eSIM from esim.dog for my 5-day Umrah trip to Mecca, and it was a terrible experience from start to finish. Despite the signal being strong, the internet speed never exceeded 200kbps, making it impossible to browse.
I am aware that Saudi Arabia has certain internet restrictions, and I even used a paid VPN service to try and fix the issue. After switching between multiple countries on my VPN, I was barely able to use WhatsApp for texting. Web pages wouldn’t load even after refreshing 2-3 times, and images were non-existent. Without a VPN, I couldn't even access local Saudi flight or train booking sites. This was easily the worst eSIM service I have ever used. Think twice before buying.”
“Bought a 14-day eSim from Yoho. After 5 days, it expired. I uploaded a screenshot as proof. Also, they advertise 24/7 support but that's also not true. Their chat support says "Live Chat" only for show since no one is responding there. There are plenty of cheap eSim available out there. Choose a different company.”
“Used Micro-Esim for the first time, went great.
Bought online, got sent a QR code by email, downloaded it to my android and installed it, had it off as second SIM until landed in China and then turned it on, worked great for the time I was in China.
Could not get Instagram or TikTok to work but that will be due to country rules and not the SIM.”
“Able to activate this eSIM from Indonesia however unable to connect to any provider in Singapore. Refund process was quite easy. I gave two stars because of how easy the refund process was otherwise one star.”
“Pre-installed Nomad eSIM on a 10GB/30day plan. Activation at the Guangzhou airport after a 15 hr flight was bit challenging. I used the combination of Airport Wi-Fi & Firsty Tier 1 Free Basic to bootstrap start Nomad. Provisioning and activatin took less than 5 minutes max. Nomad has implied VPN features, so to really use the cellular connection service provided by partner China Telecom, under Settings I disabled wi-fi in my iPhone 16 and primary SIM. I was able to access 90% of my Apps (normally blocked: YT, FB, WhatsApp, Outlook emails, Gmails, etc.). Some locations even with signals at 4-bars, both eSIMs appeared not working, that is the network connection issues and not the eSIM's fault. Overall very satisfied with Nomad (paid) DL upto 90Mbs and Firsty (free) 230Kbs as backup.”
“Delays, Misleading Product Info, and a Frustrating Refund Process
I bought two 33GB eSIMs for the Philippines and they were completely unusable — SMART required local‑resident documents, which Airhub never mentioned. Support ignored my ticket for 17 days, then claimed they had replied (they hadn’t) and even leaked another customer’s email in a screenshot.
After weeks of excuses and delays, they only offered a 50% refund for a service that never worked at all.
Unreliable service, misleading info, and very poor support.”
“Honestly its the first time i tried esim from Strong esim and i only chose as it was the Cheapest esim deals i could find. But it worked very well and no issues whatsoever”
“Scammers - purchased esim, received no confirmation of order and no login. Tried to access support and no response. No idea why esimdb are allowing this site to advertise”
“reasonable prices, good connection. never lost connection before expiry date & time.”
“Turkey doesnt have 5G except some spesific places. So the 5G thing is a lie. I got a maximum of 20 mbps so i guess the 5 mbps thing is a lie as well. The esim took a bit to generate. There is a lot of latency. It gives you a london ip adress from a swedish company when its supposed to give you a polish one. Overall experience gets a 5/10”
“Seconding what another user wrote: speed is really slow, about 0.3 Mbps in UAE..”
“10GB for 7 day ESim. Seemed to work fine at first in Haifa area, albeit with signal strength coming and going. When I moved to Tel Aviv area, the ESim stopped connecting to the network entirely. Support (via e-mail) were unable to resolve the issue, so they offered to refund me but I have yet to receive it”
“Terrible company. Scammers! I highly recommend not using them! I got an eSIM for India. I set everything up according to the instructions. But the SIM won't connect to any carrier! Support said they'd help me within 24 hours, but three days later, they haven't responded. My vacation was already over, so I asked for a refund. After much persuasion, they said it would be returned in 2-3 days. It's been 9 days now, and I still haven't received a refund! Support hasn't helped at all. They simply stole my money.”
“Its not working and they are just reading my messages with no response? Is this a scam??????? Very frustrating”
“Based on my 5-day experience I strongly recommend NOT to buy from this company: Despite full LTE network coverage, the connection was either nonexistent or poor. It was impossible to use Google Maps, Google translator, emails, or even the browser... even WhatsApp and Telegram worked very poorly: no videos, no pictures most of the time…. waiting for ages… probably the speed was 64kbps…
I wrote to them and it is true that they replied quite fast offering to help… but my holidays were almost over and the frustration too big.
On the same device I have already used 4 other eSims and never experienced such a miserable service. So I assume it was not a problem of my device and its settings.”
Asia Travel eSIM FAQ
Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Asia
How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Asia, and how many prepaid data plans are there?
There are about 120 travel eSIM providers and more than 4400 prepaid data plans available for use in Asia. With such an extensive selection, travelers can easily find an eSIM that meets their specific needs.
Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Asia?
Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans that cover destinations in Asia. Providers such as abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, Truely, Yesim, and FairPlay all list unlimited data options with validity periods typically between one and thirty days, and Yesim extends up to eighty days. Most of these plans are 5G capable, allow tethering, and include a potential speed throttling clause; the maximum speed is usually capped at around five megabits per second, and abesteSIM may further reduce speeds to 128 kilobits per second when throttled. Price ranges for these unlimited offerings span from approximately $2.30 to $235.84 USD, giving travelers a broad selection depending on budget and desired service period.
Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Asia?
Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS are available for Asia. The providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel, and TravelKon. Their packages provide both inbound and outbound voice (where listed) and SMS capabilities, with dialing codes of +1 and +33. Prices for these plans start around $4.00 USD for a 7‑day, 1 GB plan and go up to about $105.00 USD for a 365‑day, 20 GB plan, with validity periods ranging from 7 days to 365 days and data caps from 1 GB to 100 GB. However, the phone numbers supplied use foreign dialing codes (not local Asia codes), so they do not function as local numbers within Asia. If a local Asian number is required, these plans do not satisfy that need, although travelers can still rely on their data for VoIP messaging apps.
