★★★★ Vali V 5/7/2026
Way too expensive. 99$ for Europe, for 100 GB of data? This is a joke. I pay like 34$ for 100 GB of data all over Europe to a swedish company and I can call and text too if needed

RIP OFF and Unfriendly app. My friend sent me the esim, and I downloaded and activated it on my device. It worked for only 4 days out of a month. Checking with the CS, they said the esim is to be used only on one device. then they wanted the person who dowloaded it to check her mobile settings to solve the problem!! how could that make any sense!!

Make sure your phone is not locked from your carrier before purchasing. I recently upgraded my phone through Verizon. turns out they lock it for 60 days. unfortunately had to add money to the plan and install on my and my wife's phone and try to use it at our destination to find out it won't work. wasted $40 us dollars.
★★★★ Robert Clark 4/18/2026 v1.14.0
i have a balance of $62.50 when i only purchases 2@ 7.30 and still using it. I think they link your card to another sim provider to take money from you

★★★★ Pavel Radzivilovsky 4/4/2026 v1.13.0
Scan - fake advertising! Ads say 1.9 usd for 5gb global, but in fact the minimum amount to put in the balance is 5 usd, and no guarantee that the deal will ever again be available.
★★★★ Michael McNeil 4/4/2026 v1.13.0
I got the Aruba sim card. Followed all directions to set it up. Didn't work. Emailed support did what they suggested that didn't work. Told them didn't hear back even sent screen shots. Wasted 20 dollars don't do this to yourself. I came here from a YouTube sponsor this was a sad waste of money and time. Also to be clear I'm very good with technology. I also checked to make sure my phone was on the supported phones. my phone is also unlocked. To be clear it worked for 4mb and then it stopped.
★★★★ Melanie Schaffer 4/4/2026 v1.13.0
the Sims never work and the service is horrible
★★★★ jeffrey low 4/1/2026 v1.13.0
Bought the usd1.90 esim but was charged usd5. Why? What do you mean that you charge a minimum $5 deposit? What is this deposit? How do I use it? Does it appear as a credit in my account?
★★★★ John 3/25/2026 v1.13.0
Bought into their offer Didn't understand the ' concept ' Didn't get to use the 5gb....qnd then it expired....i must've activated it...and there's a limited time to use it.
★★★★ Alison No 3/24/2026 v1.13.0
this app is a scam. it's taken unauthorised funds from my bank account and installed itself on .my phone. yet I have no account or dim with them. google play or esim.io wont refund the unauthorised charge. what has the world come to where 3rd party scammers can steal your money and ignore or refuse your attempts to recoup your funds! SCAM SCAM SCAM less than 1 star minus 50
