★★★★★ "Avoid! I signed up for their welcome offer of 5GB over 7 days on a global plan for £1.50. After 3 days they cut me off after I'd only used 1.64GB. The company insisted I didn't purchase that plan when I'm sure I did. Even when the eSim did …" - Mark Walker

★★★★ Richard Wittie 6/11/2026 v1.16.0
looked up my phone use for the month f 1 gig and purchased additional for safety 2 gig. Burnt through it in Costa Rica just the first 2 days! receiving calls Yet No volume. total waist of money! couldent even contact customer service. had to use wifi to text and the wifi was flaky
★★★★ Philip George Morgan 6/11/2026 v1.14.0
It's a complete scam. Before you buy Esim.io, it doesn’t warn you if your phone is compatible with Esim. I want my £22 back.
★★★★ David Paul 6/4/2026 v1.16.0
Dishonest. I signed up for a promotion of $1.90 for 5GB, and they took $5. I asked why, and they insisted that it's the minimum. I suggest avoid.
★★★★ Mark Anderson 5/27/2026 v1.16.0
terrible.... no mention of plan upfront payment... "easy" "Quick" installation non existent
★★★★ A Google user 5/25/2026 v1.15.0
its difficult to connect
★★★★ Jozef Petrasko 5/24/2026 v1.15.0
First time experience not too good, disappointing. In-app having difficulty to purchase eSim for specific country, even if I tape the country's name it comes only with two options and then follow the offer for completely another country that I'm not even travelling to. Very confusing interface UI, not too friendly.
★★★★ Nicholas L R Short 5/21/2026 v1.15.0
the esim adapter is recognised but when I try to set up an esim nothing happens i have been going round and round in circles I've wasted time and money on something that doesn't work. I'll have to now get a local SIM on my arrival
★★★★ Taimoor 5/14/2026 v1.15.0
its not working
★★★★ Vali V 5/7/2026
Way too expensive. 99$ 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
★★★★ Nedal Boutah 5/2/2026 v1.15.0
you can not activate inside Türkiye
★★★★ Mary Grace Razon 5/2/2026
TOTAL SCAMMER!!!! BEWARE OF THIS APP!!!
★★★★ May Bakleh 4/28/2026 v1.14.0
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!!
★★★★ Alan H 4/26/2026 v1.14.0
no customer support service
★★★★ Katrina Pritchett 4/26/2026 v1.14.0
This didn't work in Turkey. I am hoping there is some way I can get a refund.
★★★★ David Young 4/20/2026 v1.14.0
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
★★★★ aditya jha 4/10/2026
don't buy they are froud they cheat your money and thair esim not work
★★★★ 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.

the Sims never work and the service is horrible

The company insisted I didn't purchase that plan when I'm sure I did. Even when the eSim did work, the data signal was intermittent and quite slow. I won't use them again.
