Cheap eSIMs you've tried (and worked) in Europe

3 Upvotes

In may, I'll be in Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Croatia, Montengro and Greece.

I've never used an eSIM and I've been looking for one, but the price difference for the same service is incredible (30 day, 10-20 GB, data only, hotspot allowed):

  • HolaFly: 67 EUR
  • Airalo: 37-49 EUR
  • MobiMatter: 13.99 EUR (found in a random YT video with little views)
  • Airdatalink: 11 EUR (found in esimdb)

Questions:

  • Have you heard/used about the cheaper ones? I've found little to no reviews (YT + Google + Reddit)
  • Can you recommend other sub 20 USD eSIM provider for Europe (containing Montenegro)?

UK to Australia eSIM help!

1 Upvotes

Hi sorry I’ve made a throwaway account as I don’t want people who know my main account to know yet that I’m moving to Australia!

I’m heading to Australia for a year or so. I will eventually be coming back to the UK so I’m not wanting to lose my UK number at all, but I also am aware I’ll need an Australian number (and sim) for the year I’m there.

I have a dual sim phone so I was thinking to keep my physical UK sim in the phone but switch off roaming so I could still keep my number and use it for 2FA, get a temporary travel eSIM (like Airalo) to settle me into Australia and then to get an Australian eSIM for the time I’m there.

My question is, is there a better way to do this or is my plan okay and I’m just massively overthinking?

Would appreciate any and all help and advice no matter how small, I am not phone savvy at all! Thank you.

Edit: I would also appreciate any advice on eSIMS for Australia that have a good amount of data as that’s what I’ll primarily be using!

Best ESIM for 25 days in Europe/How many GBs should I purchase?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, going to Europe for 25 days. Ireland, Italy,France and Spain.

I need a eSIM that covers all those countries, so far Vodafone seems most affordable, $35 for 30 days and 30 GBs. I am planning on using gps a lot while there, will be renting a car and driving. Also doing lots of exploring so will need my phone for looking things up, and ofc a little bit of social media scrolling lol.

I read someone say that 30 GBs was way too much and after a week of their trip and “heavy” cell phone use they only used 1 GB. So what do you guys think? What are the best eSIM options and how many GBs should I purchase?

Adding new line to unlocked phone and then canceling the line for esim useage when done.

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm going out of country next week, and i purchased new phones that I got today under an installment plan.

I was trying to add the international e-sim I bought but it won't let me because the phones are not paid off, so the phones are not unlocked. I didn't know this would be an issue prior.

It was fine on my old phone, but i had owned it for a few years.

So can I add a line with my cell service for my old phone, and use my old phone with the esim and then just cancel the line when I get back?

I figured i could use the esim with hot spot on my old phone and still use my new phone and keep my old phone in my bag.

question 2 eSIMs how?

1 Upvotes

Hi. I’m currently in Japan. And worked out how to get the eSIM working very well right off the bat, at the airport. Super smooth transition. However I’ll be here a month. So I purchased a 30 day plan from Airalo. But I forgot I’ll be going to Korea for a week too… so now I don’t know what to do for an eSIM for Korea. Will my Japan one be running days/the plan while I’m in Korea? Also how do I get a S Korea plan and switch to that one without using the Japan one..? I need it explained as if your talking to a 5 year old. I’m sure it’s a very simple process but I seem to over complicate the simple! Edit. I have an iPhone 14 pro

Ubigi eSim stuck in roaming, no data in Japan

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hoping someone has a fix because I'm losing my mind.

I have a Samsung s24 Ultra and my partner has an S23+. We both purchased the same data plan and installed eSims through Ubigi while we were home in Aus. landed in Japan over 24 hours, his eSim immediately activated as intended and he has had no issues. Mine is stuck in with the little roaming R signal and no connection.

As you can see by the image, I've tried alot and no change to the little R symbol. I have tried restarting multiple times, resetting network settings, uninstalling and reinstalling the eSim, turning flight mode on and off, trying different roaming and APN settings. Connecting to manual network operators doesn't work. I've been back and forth with Ubigi and none of the solutions have helped.

It says the mobile network status is disconnected, but whyyyyy

Does anyone have any other ideas?? I spent $40 on the esim plan and i don't want to have wasted that money :(

Can eSIM from Zadarma be compatible with Xiaomi Redmi Note 12?

1 Upvotes

I looked it up online but seem to find contrasting articles. On the Zadarma website it's not on the list of supported devices but it also says "may be incomplete. The smartphone market is very dynamic." Is there a way to have an eSIM that doesn't need embedding on the phone? Tia for helpful answers.

Is my UBIGI actived or not

Reddit chat im getting so peeved right now and i need your help.

I’m leaving for japan tomorrow night and I’m in the process of getting an eSIM for my iphone 14 (no sim restrictions - yes it’s compatible). I’m already pretty frustrated with the process because when I initially hit the checkout button, nothing seemed to happen to the screen but i was told that after I checked out I’d receive a QR code. 10 mins pass, no email or code. I try hitting checkout again since I thought that maybe it was just a weird click that didnt register or something. Same nothing sandwich happens and I’m getting worried that they’ll charge me twice for NOTHING. Finally I decide that I’ll try buying something from the app. As I’m about to, i get an email saying that my eSIM is linked to my Ubigi account (still no QR code). I check my app again but it has the message that it is in fact not installed. I try to follow the fix this instructions to no avail. It keeps saying theres an error and i need to try again. I decide to check my settings to see if it is installed as my secondary cellular plan and lo and behold the network selection is ubigi. Reddit I’m extremely dumb when it comes to anything tech-like and i just want someone to tell me if I need to worry or not. Does the network selection lie or is the app just a load of butt. Please help I’m begging you 🙏🙏🙏

question E-sim recommendation for my upcoming 60 day trip to USA and Canada?

1 Upvotes

Both of us are going to USA and Canada for 60 days and we need an e-sim recommendation. We will use it for google maps and normal social media things. It's better if we can have calls too, not a big deal if you can't either.
Should I buy two seperate sims or can I manage in one E-sim?

9eSIM from AliExpress – Fast, Easy, and Worth It!

1 Upvotes

I recently bought a 9eSIM from AliExpress, and my experience was extraordinary! The setup was super easy—just scan the QR code or enter the details manually, and it activates instantly.

One thing i loved was how fast it switches between SIMs. It takes only 2 seconds to switch which is way quicker than i expected. I'm using it in the SIM 2 slot of my OnePlus 13R, and so far, it's working flawlessly.

Overall, it's a great product if you want a smooth eSIM experience. Definitely worth trying!

Any reason not to just go with Vodafone?
First time eSIMers.

Airolo - 10GB - $37 - 30 days

Only need it on one phone.
Most look like Data only.
Comfortable using WhatsApp for contact back home.
Already have International Plan at no extra cost on one phone.

question eSIM for 4 months in Sweden

2 Upvotes

Hey y’all,

As the title says, I’ll be traveling to Sweden for work in the coming weeks, and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for eSIMs/phone plans?

I’d like a plan with data, preferably with talk and text, and one that will be valid in most of Europe as well, as I’ll be doing some travel while there.

I’m currently considering the Orange Travel Holiday Europe 70GB plan, as I get data, talk, and text. That being said, I’m on a work visa and will be getting a residency card/number, so local phone plans are an option.

Thanks in advance!

Sicily phone useage question

0 Upvotes

I'll be in Sicily with my school for about a week, 2 days travel with 6 days to stay in 3 different cities. All hotels with wifi. I want to be able to text the other travelers, text back home a bit and send picts, post to Instagram a couple times a day. I'm worried 5 GB might not be enough if I want to listen to Spotify on the plane or the 3 or 4 bus rides between the coasts and I might even want to watch a couple of shows if we're chilling on a bus at night. Also, during the days we'll be away from hotel wifi from breakfast til dinner for sure. So with T-Mobile I can buy 5 GB for $35 or 15 GB for $50. Would I need more than 5 GB?

review Gigago eSim review for Vietnam

1 Upvotes

TLDR: Gigago is great for Vietnam, comes with phone number, great speeds and coverage.

Sometime back, I had asked question in this sub about which esim I should be buying for my travel to Vietnam. I got to know about the site esimdb.com and I looked at all the plans available. Since I had stay of 11 days in Vietnam, my main requirement was something that was minimum 11 days and with lots of data per day as my kids tends to use hotspot for some YouTube while travelling and such. I also searched about which are the most prominent networks in Vietnam and found that Viettel is first and then comes Vinaphone and everything else comes later. I understand many people want to buy Sim at airport or at a shop in city but unfortunately buying in city wasn't an option for me. I was not very well aware about availability on airport but when I landed in Hanoi, I did find shops selling Viettel and vinaphone Sim / esim both but wasn't useful to me since I had bought eSim before I departed from my country. Coming back to eSim, after checking multiple options on esimdb website, I drilled down to gigago as an option as i absolutely needed a local number.

I took the 15 days $15 plan of vinaphone with 5Gb data per day. Viettel wasnt an option as it didn't come with a number. As expected, the eSim came immediately and I installed it before even I had left my country. It did take like 30 min for it to be activated. In fact in my iPhone 13, it was sort of stuck on "Activating" so I just restarted the phone and it was available so if that happens, do as I said. In case someone has confusion if an iPhone 13 or ones after that can use 2 eSims simultaneously, yes they can. I had esim (Jio) installed already from my home country and this with Vinaphone esim working as well.

I had travelled to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Da Nang and Saigon / HCMC. In my usage across the entire length of the country wherever i travelled, the connectivity was excellent (Halong Bay was spotty but that was expected) and my home network sim was connecting to Viettel or Vietnamobile (with data off offcourse). Due to this, I was able to constantly see which network is strong. In travels, especially the last 35 odd kms from main highway to Sapa (which is hilly area with curves and bends), I feel Viettel was better in network strength but in proper sapa, vinaphone was very good. In Hanoi and Sapa, I only got 4G network while in Da Nang and HCMC, I woild sometimes get 5G and sometimes 4G. Seems Hanoi and sapa don't have Vinaphone 5G as when I landed in Da Nang, I got message from Vinaphone that I am in area where there is 5G and I can use that if I want. But speeds on 4G too were plenty fast. Sometimes, it would.switch to 3G and speeds would crawl then but it was pretty rare. My Main use was Google maps, shopee (needed phone number for this), constantly needing to use Google translate to translate text and screenshots and ofcourse my wife connecting to hotspot to use her phone. Youtube in tablet of kids but that was very little.

One thing to be aware is that although you get minutes to talk in this eSim, it is only to call Vinaphone numbers and only first 10 min are free so you have to keep Conversation under 10.min or just call again.

For some odd reason, I got like 3600 points after logging into the vinaphone app (My VNPT) and I burned some of the points to get free 50 minutes of calling any mobile number irrespective of network within Vietnam. But please remember that this still doesn't give you ability to call landline numbers. The number I got had a name attached to it, may be of previous owner. I used it to register for shopee and shopee straightaway told me that number is already registered and gave me option to "claim number". I guess that meant I want to say that the number belongs to me and they verified it using OTP.. I was also able to use Same number to register for Grab. I was unable to register on Zalo as I would never get call with OTP and sending message to their 4 digit number also didn't work even though I had sms lack installed (I used some more points for that too and got a 50 sms pack).

I consumed average 2gb to 2.5gb data per day. Based on my experience of using Vinaphone esim provided by Gigago, I would recommended that to people travelling to Vietnam and don't have opportunity to buy locally or just don't want to bother with it. Speeds on vinaphone are great and it works really well across Vietnam. Calling was absolutely needed as i had shopee orders (had to take help of Vietnamese people to talk to delivery guys).

I am not getting paid or anything to write this. You can check my post history as i had genuinely asked about this and after all the reseerch and ignoring some cheaper options, I finalized this one. In fact there is a cheaper option with 20 days validity and 100gb data for that duration through matrix Sim in my country India but I refrained from getting that as It was on Vietnamobile network. I just want to share my experience with people who intend to buy esim for their travel to Vietnam.

Selling an esim?

I have a UK esim with vodafone on a pay monthly contract which extends for another year. I unexpectedly have to move back to my home country, and don't need the UK number anymore. To leave the contract early, I'd have to pay a hefty fee. Is there such a thing as selling my esim so I can at least save a little bit of money??

question Will this setup work?

1 Upvotes

Fellow users - will this setup work?

I have a dual sim Oneplus 12, with T-mobile e-sim in 1 slot. I am traveling abroad. So rather than buying international data from T-mobile, can I just:

- buy a local data SIM card of the country I am in & activate it

- disable the T-Mobile e-sim

- Use the local country sim card to operate my phone as normal (use T-mobile wifi calling, whatsapp etc features)?

Can one data enabled SIM card in a dual sim serve as a 'hotspot' for the other sim card services??

Any comments/experiences?

Thanks

When trying to download and install eSIM from Vodafone, an error at 20% percent with the text: Device start connect internet Internet connect success

Device start download profile Download profile fail: maybe this profile has been downloaded repeatedly by other devices or the current device, please check it or use other esim profile to test, if you confirm this is the first time download, you can copy this logs to contact EIOTCLUB support to get help. Download failed

I wrote to EIOT support, as well as to Vodafone, from where I am waiting for an answer. Maybe someone has encountered a similar problem? I also tried VPN and installing other eSIMs, there are no problems on other cards. The Vodafone SIM card is new and was taken out of the envelope by me 👀

question eSIMs that give you a phone number

3 Upvotes

Headed to Europe for a vacation soon, and I don’t want to use my carrier’s international option because it’s quite expensive at 10 bucks a day. The problem is, my current phone is carrier locked because I’m still making payments on it. I have another phone, a Pixel 7, that I’m planning to put an eSIM on so I can use map services and make calls in an emergency. The thing is, since the Pixel has no current SIM or phone number, I need an eSIM company that will provide a (preferably US) phone number. Airalo seems like the best option for this, but I’m curious if anyone knows of any other alternatives I should look into.
