“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”
“Turkey doesnt have 5G except some spesific places. So the 5G thing is a lie. I got a maximum of 20 mbps so i guess the 5 mbps thing is a lie as well. The esim took a bit to generate. There is a lot of latency. It gives you a london ip adress from a swedish company when its supposed to give you a polish one. Overall experience gets a 5/10”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“Experience was really bad. APN was not provided, so I waited it 2 hours from support.
As soon as I started using "unlimited" 128 kpbs internet eSIM was blocked and marked is expired in app.”
“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.”
“Easy to install. Worked well right from the start. I had access to 5G. Speeds for 4G were great. Great signal everywhere, even in the desert. My phone connected to the local DU network. Very happy with my choice. ”
