“The eSIM only connects to EDGE in Serbia, making mobile internet practically unusable. Sometimes the connection disappears completely for hours.
I followed all the troubleshooting steps suggested by support, but nothing changed. The support team keeps asking me to repeat the same basic steps instead of actually solving the problem.
Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this service.”

“I like esimdb and use it for all my esims worldwide, for a long time now. I do wish the navigation would become easier. So in the main overview I want to see details of 1 esim, and not go to the overview of the provider where I need to manually find the esim I saw in the overview.
Also I wish I could filter by provider (which doesn't always match the provider that you actually get). Everything else is great!

Airgun shows it will have A1 as provider but it is Yettel.”

“The eSIM Europe Unlimited Data didn’t work in Serbia — while it worked fine in other EU countries (Switzerland, Austria, and Germany).

I opened a ticket a week ago and still haven’t received any help.

Avoid this company’s SIMs. If they fail, good luck getting help — you’ll end up buying a new one somewhere else.”

“I purchased two Bosnia and Herzegovina (HT Eronet) - 10GB/30Days eSIM packages. The pre-installation process was smooth, but activation at the border wasn’t as trouble-free. Throughout the trip, I often had no internet connection. At one rest stop, I noticed the phone had latched onto the MTEL network instead of Eronet. I tried switching manually, experimented with both automatic and manual APN settings (using the official Eronet APN), but none of it helped—the issue remained the same: sometimes there was internet, sometimes there wasn’t.

Once we arrived in Mostar, things got a bit more stable, but even there the connection frequently dropped—at our accommodation too, for instance. My wife (using a Motorola; I have a Honor) kept pointing out that we had no internet again.

Speed wasn’t an issue when it did work, but I’d recommend going with BH Telecom instead—whenever Eronet failed, my other SIM on BH Telecom had full signal. In some cases, the only way to reconnect was to disable and re-enable the eSIM entirely.”

Very slow in Montenegro, despite their full speed claim.

“Next I'd think twice before I use the cheapest option. I activated my SIM but wasn't able to use it. I tried everything that came to my mind for 2-3 hours and couldn't make it work.
The support couldn't provide me with a solution either, so I was without data all day. At the end of my trip, on my way back to Bulgaria, I gave it another try, just before I crossed the border, and it suddenly worked.
I got a message from the support on the next day with a suggestion and a possible solution, but it was too late, 'cause I was in Serbia only for a few hours and that's when I needed my data.
I'm definitely not happy with the experience.”

“I bought Airhub eSIM for USA & Albania & my experience is good, in starting I faced minor challenges to active Albania eSIM but Airhub support team guide me and i could use it.
There was additional benefit with Airhub that I asked to extend my plan validity & they gimme additional off there, i used coupon "foryou".
Thanks esimdb & airhub.”

“Superb and very fast communication via email. More than happy with their service. Initially, thought that my eSim was given for my home country (as I scanned the QR before I left). I was re-assured that it will work perfectly when I arrive to my destination (Russia) 10 days later - and indeed it did.”

“Activation is not straightforward, need to scan qr code.
After eSIM is downloaded and activated, no internet (writing this review after 2 hours trying to make it work). I have contacted carrier, but still no answer. Purchased 20 GB plan.

My previous experience with esimdb and other carriers was much better.

Not sure if I'll make it work, after all discounts I've paid ~13 EUR for 20GB plan.”
