Horrible experience. I was never able to activate the eSIM. I kept getting kicked out as the app attempted to register on different networks. I followed dozens of troubleshooting steps with customer service, all without success. I escalated the issue twice, but it was never resolved. I ended up spending four hours of my vacation trying to get it to work.
In the end, I purchased another eSIM from a different provider — it worked like a charm. I even bought another one for use in Panama, which also worked flawlessly and was incredibly easy to activate.
Avoid this service like the plague. It feels like a scam. Even the app looks like an online casino, not a professional eSIM provider.
Horrible experience. Never again. I lost $25 on the Global XL plan, which I never got to use.
Horrible. The service never worked. SIM never was able to register with a network. I tried troubleshooting for 2 days losing 2 or 3 hours talking with CS, they asked me to do several things nothing worked, they gave another Sim same thing. The CS was slow to respond and powerless, I escalated the ticket and nobody answer. I purchased a Sim from other company and worked great. Never again! Beware is a scam because I lost my $25!
I bought the 30 days plan esim for Colombia and tried to activate it upon arrival without success. I had to buy another esim from another company which worked right away and for 1 week. After several exchanges, the esim finally was activated. BUT, everytime I needed WIFI to connect to the network and get data. I told them the problem and asked for refund since I never was able to use it. They refused. So you buy an esim to get data but to get data you need wifi to connect to the network.
Worst experience with esim, especially if you need it to move around in cities like Bogota.
Terrible service, I had to manually select the network they asked me to and still won't work. Not recommended.
They wrote about free test offer 250MB - but it is not true, they didn't give me this free 250MB
Unfortunately Global eSIM is not working 98% of the time. Only 3G and nothing loads.
Pretty good experience, forgot to use the coupon code but price isn’t too bad comparative to other providers. One small issue my QR code didn’t appear in the email and so I had to reach out but they were honestly pretty response and got it resolved in less than 10 mins. Would definitely use again. Service and connection was reliable and stable too.
Scam alert! Do not use Global eSIM.
My girlfriend and I went to Colombia and we chose Global eSIM. Don’t do that, whatever the price. In Bogota, the biggest city in the country, it wasn’t working 95% of the time. We tried to get explanations from them, but they just don’t care. Worst company ever.
Cartagena works okay, Medellin works very well, but do not buy for Bogota… Customer service is a big mess!!! 6-7 emails just to get useless nonsense that’s already in the help center, and I have to repeat everything and confirm tons of times… In short, 5 days without service in the largest capital city of Colombia — a real joke!!! Definitely don’t buy!!! Now I’m trying to get a refund… already at 5 emails… A scam!
Bought the 7GB eSIM. Really slow and unstable with frequent connection drops. Would not recommend.
Zero stars if it were possible. Absolutely terrible. Easy to set up and activate, but the data signal was absolutely the worst. Like dial up 1999. Images would not load. Basic internet use was nearly impossible. Only functional for texting. I don't know what the quality is in other countries, but I would not use Breeze again, obviously. They would have to pay me.
Great experience, truly local. Downloaded and was online once I landed. I was in Bogota, Suesca, Cartagena. Always good speed and local number. Thanks!
Bought 2x 7GB eSIMs. It worked on Claro but paid for 7GB and they both stopped working at 5 GB.
Support quickly reactivated one but not the other.
eSIMdb coupon did not work. It looked like it applied but when I paid with Visa card it was the full amount.
Also eSIM provider is Plus in Poland so internet is in Polish and you get annoying EU pop ups on Google and every site.
Local Claro SIM is much cheaper, faster, and no hassles.
I’m facing a very bad experience with GlobaleSIM in Colombia ! Since I was in Bogota, I had a terrible connection and the data wasn’t working… I’m in Cartagena and the speed is very slow, only 3G connection and just for a couple minutes because the connection breaks every time, and took 5 minutes or more to get back connected
I get in contact with the support, I did what they said but at the end, they said that they can do nothing to improve the connection.
Signal is weak. Loose LTE. From 3G no internet. Price was 18 dollars for 10 GB.month.
Not working and also customer response is very slow. If you need it to work quickly choose another service.
I didn't get QR code still, I totally disappointed with their service
I am waiting for long time
So don't buy this sim
Not good, most of the time I could not use it. There was a signal, and people with physical SIMS on the same network had no problems.
I didn’t get a confirmation email, from the QR in the confirmation page I could not install it, because it said this QR had been used already, and when checking the code they also mention there it was showing data for a booking completely different than mine. When contacting costumer service they didn’t bother to answer and i just had the option to report them to PayPal, good thing I didn’t give them my credit card details, who knows what would have happened in that situation
Couldn't even get on the app the link to verify email took me in a loop never allowing me on and customer support bounced back. Seems like a scam to me.
I bought a top up which vanished immediately, and they refused to credit or refund. I’d avoid this provider.
After buying more than 20 sim cards from them, this one was a super bad experience after which I think I'd better pay more on other providers than use this one.
I bought a pretty expensive 40 day sim for $70, it said beforehand that it works only on Iphone, so I got an iphone specifically for this. After you order it says - esim will be activated in 12 hours (its the type where you give them your imei and they register you rather than scanning a QR).
12 hours later 2 CS agents contact me separately saying there is a problem activating. I spend 5 days corresponding with them (I needed the card next day after I bought it), customers support end up ghosting me. Asking for a refund finally got a response full week after failed activation. Now 50 days after the claimed refund I havn't got it and they do not respond via any channels.
And I am a recurring customer, I bought more than 20 sims from them already, some of them worked, some didn't, I'd say chance is around 70 working to 30 not working. Every time trying to get a refund is super painful, customer support is awful, but I got at least portion of the money (they refunded me the wrong purchase once). But this time they decided to just lie and hide. So be warned. Also amount of time you need to spend corresponding with them is just abysimal, it is not worth the money. Their voice plans are usually the best, but its a lottery with very high cost of losing.
Not good. When data does work, everything loads slowly but a lot of the time it doesn’t work. The coverage is terrible and j was Constantly losing data signal. I was in Salvador/Bahia and Rio. You would think coverage would be better in Rio but it was worse. It left me stranded and disrupted my whole day. Do not recommend! Also bought a voice plan and the number the gave me never worked and I couldn’t make any calls. Tried to contact them but had no response. Don’t waste your money. Avoid!
Terrible coverage, unreliable connection, always going in and out even in large cities.
I love you! Thank you so much makes the traveling life way easier. This service is great does exactly as it should has some coupons and an overview over all easy to use options. So happy I don’t have to wait at a claro store for 2h to get the eSIM activated
Used your services already 3/4 times absolutely wholesome experience. So the review is not exclusively for Guatemala but for the overall experience you created here. Will continue to do use and spread the word!
Lots of love from a traveler that already saved you on the homescreen

Extremely dissatisfied with the GlobaleSim experience in Ecuador.
Not a single place with 4G coverage and 3G was so slow it was barely usable. Next time, I'll choose another provider.
Bad! I added extra data to my sim. Did not receive it. When I asked for help I got a chat bot telling me that they will email me whitin 2-3 hours!
I'm not sure KnowRoaming still offer their 1Gb 30 day eSIM, but it worked very well for me over Christmas 2021. Roams on Movistar towers which are commonplace in the tourist areas I went to at least.
Still an issue (on Android at least) that you need to buy the esim on a different phone/computer in order to display the QR code so that your actual phone can then read it.
Currently, eSIMDB lists over 70 travel eSIM brands offering service in South America, alongside over 1200 prepaid data plans. With such a wide variety of options, travelers should easily be able to find an eSIM that suits their specific data needs and budget for their trip.
Several providers offer unlimited data eSIM plans for use in South America. Truely, Yesim, and Roamify all have options available, typically ranging from approximately $11 to $120 USD depending on the validity period. It’s important to note that these plans may have limitations, such as potential speed throttling or being geared towards new users only. Travelers should consider their anticipated data usage and be aware of these potential restrictions when selecting a plan.
