See what travelers are saying about their Middle East eSIM experience. Real feedback from real users to help you pick the best plan for your trip.
“It worked for a short time and I downloaded about 3 MB of emails. Then I disabled data roaming and renabled it the next day when I didn't have wifi. I could not get it to work again - the phone kept prompting me to set a carrier name. There was no help on their website. I never got it to work so my money was wasted. They send me an email with a link to review the purchase but that did not work. They claim to refund non-function sims if you email them but I have emailed twice with no response. I think this company should not be trusted.”
“I previously left a negative review, but after trying this eSIM again for my trip to Turkey, I want to update my opinion.
The connection worked perfectly during the whole trip — stable, fast internet with no issues at all. The price was also very low compared to other providers, which was a nice surprise.
The only issue I had was that the QR code was not sent automatically to my email after purchase because I used the express checkout option without registration. The website chat didn’t work, and it was very difficult to even find their support email since the site doesn’t clearly show any contact information. However, after I contacted them by email, support quickly sent me the QR code and everything worked fine after that.
Overall, a much better experience this time. Good speeds, reliable service, and great pricing for Turkey.”
“This eSİM claims to roam with 2 Turkish networks, which was my reason to buy. This is not true. Like many other travel eSİMs, it connects to Avea/TT only. Turkcell, although mentioned as a roaming partner, does not connect, says "not allowed"
I contacted support, but they behave as if they do not understand. Final recommendation, after a couple of emails, was to just set the phone to automatic selection. Hey!”
“Title: WARNING: 100GB Plan Blocked After 25GB Use – Stay Away
I purchased Airhub's 100GB plan specifically for its advertised data allowance. However, after using only ~25GB in a few days (only 25% of the plan), the service was permanently blocked.
I spent 11 days emailing support, only for them to finally admit:
"Please note that your eSIM has been temporarily suspended due to abnormal data usage within a very short period of time, as detected by the network. This action is taken automatically to prevent unusual or excessive usage."
Selling a 100GB plan and then blocking it for "abnormal usage" at 25GB is deceptive. They have refused to reactivate the line or offer any refund for the 75GB of data I never received. Do not trust their advertised data limits. ”
“The application is good and the coverage depends on chosen supplier. Some suppliers are good, others need to be enhanced. The speed and coverage depends on the service provider and on the country infrastructure. Rate is acceptable.”
“Hello, I purchased an unlimited data eSIM from esim.dog for my 5-day Umrah trip to Mecca, and it was a terrible experience from start to finish. Despite the signal being strong, the internet speed never exceeded 200kbps, making it impossible to browse.
I am aware that Saudi Arabia has certain internet restrictions, and I even used a paid VPN service to try and fix the issue. After switching between multiple countries on my VPN, I was barely able to use WhatsApp for texting. Web pages wouldn’t load even after refreshing 2-3 times, and images were non-existent. Without a VPN, I couldn't even access local Saudi flight or train booking sites. This was easily the worst eSIM service I have ever used. Think twice before buying.”
“Honestly its the first time i tried esim from Strong esim and i only chose as it was the Cheapest esim deals i could find. But it worked very well and no issues whatsoever”
“Scammers - purchased esim, received no confirmation of order and no login. Tried to access support and no response. No idea why esimdb are allowing this site to advertise”
“Seconding what another user wrote: speed is really slow, about 0.3 Mbps in UAE..”
“10GB for 7 day ESim. Seemed to work fine at first in Haifa area, albeit with signal strength coming and going. When I moved to Tel Aviv area, the ESim stopped connecting to the network entirely. Support (via e-mail) were unable to resolve the issue, so they offered to refund me but I have yet to receive it”
“Its not working and they are just reading my messages with no response? Is this a scam??????? Very frustrating”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“Very bad. Do not buy this esim for UAE! No internet most of time. One time I have connection - result of Speedtest is very bad - 0.3Mbps! See in attachment. Support did not retun money! They tried to debug the problem from tecnical side with my help for about 2 hours - with no result. Very bad experience.
I repeat - do no buy this esim for UAE and maybe for other countries.”
“I recently purchased this international eSIM for my trip to the UAE, and I am beyond impressed! The setup was quick and hassle-free
I was connected within minutes.
The 5G coverage was outstanding.
If you're traveling to the UAE and need fast, reliable, and affordable data, this eSIM is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!
10/10 - Will definitely use again!”
“تم خصم مبلغ الاشتراك ولم يتم ارسال ايميل بالاشتراك، وتواصلت مع خدمة العملاء وكانو يتاخرون في الرد ولا يقدمون المساعدة المطلوبة ويتم تكرار . طلب البيانات وفي النهاية قامو باغلاق طلب المساعدة بخجة اني تأخرت 15 دقيقة في الرد. كانت تجربة مخيبة للامال”
“Highly discourage anyone from purchasing an Airhub SIM. We purchased five SIMS (4GB each) for our family members and they all stopped working at 1.8GB.
I contacted customer service and they refuse to help and after doing a Google search, several customers have said they receive less than half the data they paid for, which is aligned with our experience.
There are much better companies out there.”
“The esim worked well for me in Qatar. I was connected to the internet from when the airplane landed at the airport.
They have the most affordable prices for all their tiers (1/3/5/10/15 GB) on esimdb.
The team is friendly and I recommend them.
You just have to scan the QR code before flying and don't forget to enable data roaming.”
“Find out the way very easy and simple Thank you very, very much for your service”
“The esims of me and my partner randomly stopped working on the second day of our vacation, their support was constantly asking me for various info, then they claims to fix the issue but for both of us nothing worked.”
“The SIM worked quite well, but they don't have a way to check the used GB. They disconnected it at 2GB even though I had paid for 4GB. I reported the issue, and they reactivated it. Now it shows that I have used 3.4GB, and they have deactivated it again. This is not fair”
“I used Breeze and it was anything but. Missed several important emails in France and had to resort to my personal teathered Canadian internet for additional daily costs through phone provider. In UAE, this brutal eSim doesn't even work at all with no response after several hours from customer service. Extremely disatisfied. Thanks for nothing.”
“Used the 10 day unlimited (4GB daily + 512 kbps afterwards) and 100 minutes option. Got UK number with it. First day, especially on the road the speed was excellent, but definitely haven't downloaded 4 GB. Near our hotel in Side the speed was slow even with 5G or LTE, but reasonable for photos and messaging, worse for navigation. In the afternoon the sim often disconnected quite randomly and I had to turn airplane mode on and off even 10-20 times a day. Interesting is that it never happened during am hours.”
“I did use an very fast LTE+ mobile data in Türkiye via Instabridge (which gave an polish internet connection). It is cheaper than local plans (20 GB with unlimited social app and 200min and some SMS 1400-1500 TRY (aprox 41-43.93 USD) - türkcell or vodafone) while Instabridge with 20GB for 7 days is 18.14 USD.”
