“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.”

ESIM.DOG 🐶 Kazakhstan

“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.”

GLOBAL YO Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan)

“Installed the esim per instructions. Even at the Manas airport i already could NOT connect to the data/service. So i tried activating the esim in the Global Yo app (it is supposed to be automatically activated once I could connect but since I could not connect I thought I would need to activate it manually). Then I tried restarting my phone too but that didn’t work either.

It’s been a few hours and I’ve obviously left the airport now. Even within the city and town there is no service. Only managing to post this review using the guesthouse wifi.

Why sell a product that does not work, and customer service is not 24-7 available to help? I hope when Global Yo does reply I will be in a location that has wifi access to be able to read their reply.”
