Edward A (Canada)
I recently traveled to another country for a 3-day vacation. Using the app and eSIM couldn't have been easier or better! Instructions were clear and concise, and setup was done in seconds. I connected to 5G, so data speed and map usage was fast and accurate. On the last day of the trip, I easily purchased additional data and everything worked smoothly. Plus, I saved a lot of money because my mobile carrier would have charged double what I paid. I will definitely use this service in the future!
Grace (Armenia)
Excellent experience. At first I thought it was a scam, but I bought it anyway, and it's truly an excellent service. I would buy it again. I recommend it 100%.
Daniel (USA)
We were on Vancouver Island in British Columbia in fairly remote areas, and after some communication with technical support, it eventually worked once I figured out the right settings. Next time I'll know what to do. Technical support was great until we resolved it. Overall, I'm satisfied with the price and service. I would definitely recommend and use again.
