“Esim did not work. My friend had the same experience with a different phone. Communication with helpdesk is difficult. After 10 emails and lots of screenshots and following all kinds of instructions the problem is still not fixed. They keep on asking screenshots of screens I already shared and refuse to refund.

“Terrible. Don't use this. Bots make you circle around with solutions that does not work. Human intervention just repeats that circle. Do not buy. They are also causing problem with refund stating it defaults to their "wallet"”

“Unfortunately, the SIM card was very unreliable in Australia. Despite having full 4G/5G signal, we often had to wait several minutes for websites to load. There are definitely better SIM card options available for Australia.”

“Wasted so much time trying to get their plan to work, just to save a few bucks (lesson learned).

I purchased a plan that was meant to work across Oceania for 30 days. Firstly I arrived in Vanuatu, it wouldn't connect at all. I reached out to them, they helped me out to connect, but even after that the connectivity would be randomly lost for up to a day at a time... Then went on to Fiji - it was fine. Now in Samoa, again - no internet whatsoever, this time I reached out to the support, but haven't heard back in 3 days, plan is about to expire anyway.

Do yourself a favour and stick to a more reputable eSIM provider.”

Roamless Australia

“installed today on to a Telco Village eSim.me physical sim card. Worked first time on the install. no messing about with apn settings etc.

Only need it to stream Spotify and radio stations online so can't say how fast it is but it connected to the Telstra network in Australia which has the best coverage. From what I've read Roamless allow roaming on multiple carriers in certain countries so useful if one carrier is out of reach.

only had it a few hours so can't say anything about reliability yet. but the built in voip calling to landlines from the app is a nice touch, using the credit in your account. and to make a call you don't even need to be using their eSim. any data connection will work.

“The setup was fast and smooth and the eSIM worked from the moment I landed in Fiji.

The issue I have is that it was constantly limited to 3G speeds. Even then, although the cellular signal was at full strength, web pages would take aaaaaaages to load or sometimes not load at all.

I reached out to their support team, but it seems the service is limited because it is an eSIM. My mother purchased a physical SIM card from the same local telco that I was using (Digicel) and she got a much better deal (165GBs) with fast LTE speeds at about the same price that I paid for 5GB at 3G speeds.

I understand that the infrastructure here is limited and eSIMs might be a newer technology that needs time to be developed; but I would have appreciated a heads-up when I was purchasing the eSIM so I would’ve at least known I’d only get 3G speeds.

My two cents - if you can wait to buy an eSIM at the airport when you land, please do. They have much better data bundles for tourists.”

“I'm was in Auckland for five days, got a eSIM from Yesim for 3gb for seven days. Simple process and it worked flawlessly when I landed. Internet breakout is in Poland though, so there's a little latency, not a big issue but might be annoying for video calls.

Don't recommend their app though, it immediately began sending push notification spam every few hours. The website works fine for keeping track of usage though.”
