worked well when it did but kept on getting PDP authentication errors stopping me from accessing the internet randomly which left me stranded once
Not that fast but okay-ish speeds in Japan on the KDDI (au) network. However, the biggest drawback is that this eSIM routes through Hong Kong (HK IP address), so ChatGPT doesn’t work which is a real shame.
I used 10GB if no E-Mail arrives after Payment, look in Spam Ordner or What them per Whatsapp, they are helping very fast and good. Never Problem, Nice IP from France in Turkey, so perfect to Use for YPN
I used the Global eSIM 1GB with a coupon for use within Japan.
It worked very smoothly.
When I went to Hakone where the signal tends to be weak, it stayed connected by switching between SoftBank and KDDI depending on the location.
I think it’s good to keep one as a backup in case of network outages.
The IP address will be from overseas so be careful with Japan-only services.
Their free plan of 500MB seems to be scam. Checked on my and my girlfriend account both not working after registration. Used our real e mails and never used this company before also will never use and recommend you same.
I tried ordering the FREE plan and set it up on my iPhone SE2.
At first, the eSIM activation stayed in “processing on the server” status for about 10 minutes without any response, so I just left it for a while until it finally completed.
After that, the phone stayed out of service and couldn’t connect to the network for over an hour. I had almost given up, but eventually, it just started working on its own.
In terms of speed, there were no issues.
While using the service, I kept checking the data usage on the website, but after reaching 0.01GB, the connection stopped working completely. I thought maybe the usage display was just delayed, but even the next day, it hadn’t updated. It felt like I had used more data than what was shown, so the website’s usage display doesn’t seem very reliable.
Overall it was a pleasant experience. Purchase and setup was quick and easy. Will use again if needing a short term Esim for travel.
took 2 mins to activate but it said in the mail it'd take 30mins even up to 24 hrs, scared me a little
Bought a plan and nowhere in the checkout process was 4G only mentioned. Contacted support and they cancelled the plan as requested but they also pettily banned my account.
Connectivity and speeds were spotty in Osaka and Kyoto. eSIM did NOT support hotspot sharing. Would not buy an eSIM from this provider again.
It didnt connect ntt docomo. It connects iij and its around 5 mbps, too slow..
Bought an unlimited data plan for 30 days. It's not only the cheapest option, but works without throttling and any other limits set. Good choice for Azerbaijan.
Bought the 500gb unlimited 1 day plan of USD 10 for Qatar. It's being marketed that plan is not throttled. But in reality it's throttled at 10mbps. Shame shame.
data roaming worked somehow but there is no support.
There is mentioned to postpone the start but it was impossible. When I tried to contact support, no help, no answer. It was last time I used this company. Never again. I cannot recommend.
Ik had 2 e-sim gekocht van 20 GB ieders. Die van mij werkte meteen perfect. Die van mijn vrouw niet. Na een korte mail wisseling een nieuwe e-sim gekregen. Deze werkte daarna perfect. Super service van LinkeSIM!
Bereik en snelheid was prima.
Volgende keer kijk ik weer bij deze provider.
Their support was top notch, the process overall is pretty easy and the internet was very quick
This was my first time downloading an e-SIM. I used an iPhone 15 and everything was very simple. I didn't use the calls, just the data plan, 5GB for 10 days in Australia for $6, and it worked great. The price was very reasonable, and although I didn't check the remaining data, I can say that it was enough for me.
Their eSIM works on the 3 (Tri) network, which isn’t as strong as TSEL but offered mostly decent coverage. Speeds were solid, with latency under 100ms (better than I expected). Not much to complain about. Can recommend.
Throttled to 12 mbps. Otherwise perfect connection and excellent price.
After a satisfied test in 2024 with Yesim in Turkey, it was clear to me to go for an eSIM from Yesim also during my vacation in 2025.
Activation is super easy, it is even possible to buy it in advance and activate it at a later time (for example, when the vacation starts). Deferred activation. Very convenient.
I was curious about the connection speed in 2025 and was amazed at how fast the Internet was with Türk Telekom.
In 2025 the download speed was between 30 and 50 Mbps and the upload was super high above 90 Mbps.
The network was 4G/ LTE+ - since 5G is almost not yet built out in Turkey (only in and around Istanbul and certain soccer stadiums)
You get a Polish IP address with Yesim (Polish provider Plus) which gives the advantage of being able to access/view/use all apps and websites without problems (Geoblock/Countryblock)
Very satisfied with Yesim and will use this app again in the future.
Turkish Riviera - Antalya - Belek
15GB Option used.
Used: May/June 2025
At first i need to set up apn settings then after that i used it and excellent, no problem, fast 5G connection.
I’ve used Billion Connect for multiple eSims abroad now, and I’ve found them great every time. Their customer service responds pretty quickly to any issues, and the sims are cheap and work well. Be aware the sims are mostly based in Hong Kong so if you’re geographically far from there the latency might be a little high, and you may need a VPN for things like TikTok to work, but I’ve had very few issues.
In terms of speed it wasn’t particularly fast or slow, just average. The connection was mostly through SIMBA, but in some locations it switched to StarHub. The biggest drawback was that, since it was roaming via Hong Kong, I couldn’t use ChatGPT.
The sim worked fine, but be aware that Yoho count their days as 00:00-23:59, so if you buy a sim in the afternoon or evening, the last few hours of that purchase day will count as 1 day. I was cut off nearly a full day early because I bought it in the evening.
Do not buy the Clearance esim. It's not mentioned on the website, but it's routed through Hong Kong. The connection is very bad and 5G seems capped at slow speeds. I had issues keeping a consistent connection and ended up buying a MobiMatter esim that has worked flawlessly.
The product claimed to support multiple carriers, so I decided to try out the "eSIM, 3GB, 30 Days, Japan" for use in Japan.
It seems the APN "vmobile.jp" (iij) can be used, but... is this really multi-carrier?
Beware: 1) No call/text available in South Korea. 2) Routed via HK so not the best service due to latency, but the same as most competitors in SK for eSIM. 3) Weird discrepancy on their website about price in USD vs charged amount ($1.00 USD more is charged than shown online). How do I know? I bought 3 eSIMs from Giga.Tel in South Korea, and over 10 from eSIM competitors. So far they are still the cheapest for the same 30GB and quality of service. Plus you can checkout with American Express in case of a dispute (MobiMatter does not allow Amex)
Used the Turkey eSIM right after landing in Istanbul. Had great connection during the bus ride to Cappadocia, could work and even stream movies without issues. Was great choice for me and will continue to use.
I recently purchased a premium eSIM plan from Yoho Mobile, expecting reliable service during my travels. Unfortunately, the experience was consistently disappointing across two different countries: the United Kingdom and Israel.
Connectivity Issues: The internet connection was highly unstable in both countries. While it occasionally worked, it would frequently drop without warning. More critically, VoIP services were virtually unusable. Calls via VoIP.ms would initiate but drop immediately, and WhatsApp calls would connect briefly before losing connection.
Device Compatibility: I tested the eSIM on two different devices—my Samsung S24 and my wife's Pixel 9—both experienced identical issues, indicating the problem was not device-specific.
Server Location Concerns: It appears that Yoho Mobile routes its traffic through servers in Hong Kong. This routing caused additional complications, as certain AI services and applications are restricted or blocked in that region. Without a VPN, many essential apps were inaccessible.
Unexpected Discrepancy in Reviews: What puzzles me is the overwhelmingly positive reviews Yoho Mobile has received on platforms like Trustpilot, boasting a 4.7 rating. Given my experience, I find it hard to reconcile such high ratings with the service I encountered. It's surprising that a company providing this level of service maintains such a high rating, especially when most providers in this sector have more moderate reviews.
Resolution: Out of necessity, I switched to another eSIM provider. The difference was immediate and stark—stable internet connectivity and fully functional VoIP services without the need for a VPN.
Conclusion: Despite positive reviews I encountered during my research, my experience with Yoho Mobile was overwhelmingly negative. The combination of unreliable connectivity, server-related restrictions, and the discrepancy between advertised and actual service quality makes it difficult to recommend their services.
Supera link functioned perfectly for me in Singapore when i visited last march, providing 5G coverage across the whole city on the local du network
But when visiting smaller island nations, you might find that the local networks have limitations. It's worth thinking about how internet access is provided to these little islands
It seems the roaming provider has changed from Singtel to KPN. As a result, data now routes through the Netherlands, thus higher latency than before (200+ms). It connects to Smart network. There were several occasions when the signal dropped to "E" (Edge), and data could not be used. This might be due to local coverage issues. The latency is still manageable, but the occasional loss of connectivity is a bit inconvenient. I wouldn't recommend it.
Worked great 95% of the time. Speeds were 100+mbps in most areas in all the countries I visited. Ping was around 60-200ms.
Two downsides:
1. ChatGPT or apps blocked in Hongkong do not work anymore without VPN
2. In very crowded places internet would slow down a lot
Used without issues in both Tokyo and Osaka. The latency wasn't great due to roaming connection through Singapore, but was manageable. At least it’s more convenient than eSIMs that go through Hong Kong and don’t work with services like ChatGPT. The network was au’s LTE or 5G, and signal was solid everywhere, no complaints.
I went with this esim because of the great value and because I saw a positive review (after having tried a couple esims in the past with various companies that barely worked, I'm always a bit apprehensive to try one without and positive reviews) and I just wanted to second that review - airlink worked perfectly throughout Korea (have been connected to SK network the whole 3 weeks) and when considering price per GB, I doubt there are many better options.
The internet worked perfectly everywhere – airports , even on road trips. No annoying "loading..." screens! Plus their customer chat is LEGIT. Messaged them at 1AM (jetlag lol) and replied in 2 minutes. She literally stayed on chat while I set it up, double-checked everything. Way cheaper than my phone plan back home. Never going back to regular SIM cards!
I used it in February this year in Dubai, and it worked well for me during my three‑day stay. While many claimed some providers didn’t work there, others insisted they did. Definitely will be using it again at the end of this year for work.
At first there were problems with activation, it took several hours.
I used eSIM for 2 weeks. Internet works only in the center of large cities, on the outskirts and in small towns the connection completely disappears, or is very, very slow. Support does not respond.
Experience was really bad. APN was not provided, so I waited it 2 hours from support.
As soon as I started using "unlimited" 128 kpbs internet eSIM was blocked and marked is expired in app.
The speed is horrible. Speed at 10 Mbps - 500 GB is useless at this speed
The speeds are decent, but the IP is from Hong Kong so the latency is quite high. And most importantly, ChatGPT cannot be used unfortunately.
