“Very bad experience (not being able) using it in the Dutch Carribean with iPhone 17. Support reply was good but not able to solve the problem. Also not willing to refund. Never again.”

“Waste of money, the eSIM was denied connection to Cubacel. Had to buy another eSIM from a different provider for more $$.”

GLOBAL YO Puerto Rico Panama

“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.”

“It didn't work for me because the app limits usage to specified phone models. I tried to use it on an Infinix Smart 8 and it's not compatible, then on a Samsung A34 and still not compatible. I recommend expanding the list of models with access to eSIM so it can be more widely used”

GlobaleSIM Cuba

“Writing this with review in Nov 2024, using GlobaleSIM on my iPhone. After successfully testing Gigsky I went with the cheapest price/GB. It worked well in the cities I visited: Baracoa, Imías, San Antonio, Guantánamo.

I noticed two differences, which indicate having both eSIMs improved my connectivity:
1. The phone shows 4G (GlobaleSIM) instead of LTE (Gigsky).
2. In one remote area with no GlobaleSIM connection I still had network with Gigsky.

In my case the payment via Paypal got stuck, but I assume this was a one-off. The GlobaleSIM support was super friendly and helpful during the extra week this took.”

“Writing this review in Nov 2024 using a GigSky esim on my iPhone. It has worked well in Guantánamo, Imías, and right now in Baracoa. After changing my location I often have to enable/disable Flight Mode to get a working internet connection (LTE symbol). This might be a quirk of the cuban cellular network.”

“I purchased a 30-day plan to give it a try. However, when I followed the connection instructions and scanned the QR code on-site, it showed the message, "This code is invalid." In other words, I couldn't even set up the eSIM to use it. Was I scammed? Since there are no Wi-Fi rental companies that cover Cuba, I finally found this eSIM provider, but I'm extremely disappointed. I don't think I'll ever buy from them again.”

“Worst eSim we've ever used and we have travelled a lot and used many different eSims around the world. This was a complete waste of money. Even thought we seemed to be connected to LTE most of the time we couldn't actually download anything, send messages, or surf the web at all.

We couldn't even download the mandatory update to the GigSky app because the connection didn't actually work.”

“At the time of purchase was the cheapest offering at the place.
The app is bare minimum, had issue as it would apparently try to connect to British VI instead, so had the sim working for few mintues and not for few more, constantly switching network, and on and off killed my phone really quick. Support is slow and not that helpful, email only and slow respond”
