THE WORST SERVICE. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
My experience was terrible. The eSIM would not activate when I first tried to use it. I was stranded without service for nearly a week. The company's only solution was a 70% refund for the inconvenience. A week lost!
Finally, a different agent stepped in, gave me the correct instructions, and I was able to use the service only after a full week.
The problem is, I had an urgent need for connectivity during that week and was forced to buy a new eSIM elsewhere.
Who will compensate me for the money I spent and the week of stress and lost time? Why am I not being fully compensated for their failure? The usage warnings are completely inadequate. NEVER use this.

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.

Truly awful 3G speed on strong 5G towers in Amsterdam. I have excellent signal strength on my device, yet somehow my 300GB Europe eSIM from Airhub consistently produces 3Mpbs down and up. This strongly suggests rate limiting. Over several days it's like this with the only advice from Airhub support to restart the device, which does nothing.

System applications 545 KB, WhatsApp 24 KB, wallpaper carousel 10 KB, and Mi Browser 7 KB. Less than 600 KB in total.
215 MB compared to 600 KB is a big difference.

I ordered an eSim for Greece and it simply didn't work upon landing which is what I've come to expect after many similar purchases from other vendors. In my opinion no one should spend valuable time debugging such issues abroad so we simply ordered from a different vendor and everything worked right away. I asked Airhub for a refund and they didn't even reply to my request.

I asked for a refund and they never gave it to me. That company is a scam. Stay away if you don't want to be scammed.

AIRHUB is a SCAM. They are thieves who steal your money and give you eSIMs with less GB than they offer.

Was on a cruise ship for these four countries (MSC world Europea). This plan has multiple network carriers per country so I was able to have coverage even while on the boat in the middle of the ocean because it was able to switch carriers so quickly. Plus I got the Europe + USA plan so I was able to use the remaining data at home instead of using my regular cellular plan.

Overall, a smooth and hassle-free way to stay connected without swapping SIM cards and carry heavy wifi device. I’d definitely use it again.

Yoho Mobile

Alex Nobiliusused in United Kingdom 🇬🇧

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.

Do not use this provider! I have used several esims but this one is not working, only at very low speeds. Contacted customer support. React very slow and could not resolve. After a lot of complaints agreed to refund. Took 3 weeks to refund. they only processed refund after 3 weeks when complaining again. Do not recommend. Not worth the money. Even 1 star is too much

Very disappointing experience. Despite being in France, I couldn’t access essential AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini – they simply wouldn’t load. I contacted customer support, but they were unable to resolve the issue. During my vacation, not having access to these services was incredibly frustrating. This might work for basic browsing like Instagram or Maps, but if you rely on more advanced tools, this eSIM is not reliable. One of the worst I’ve used – definitely not recommended for travelers who need stable and unrestricted internet access.
