r/eSIMs

Edit: Thanks a lot for all the helpful and insightful replies. I truly appreciate it. I upvoted all of you 🙏

I'm in the UK and I need to change my mobile plan and I saw a very good deal on the money saving expert website but the mobile plan uses esim.

I want to know the pros and cons of this as I never relied on esim as the main mobile sim, I've only used esim once for a one week trip. I also rely on using the phone as a hotspot a lot for work.

The esim deal is provided by idmobile that uses the Three network

I know every country has own​ location code for numbers. And I know it's not the same for China and Russia. But...

I started to get SMS to my phone with verification codes for rednote few days ago. Half hour ago I get SMS with code from Union Pay, and there was "you are activating Tour Balance". As I know, rednote is Chinese social network and UnionPay also Chinese payment system.

So....someone do it by mistake? Or there is some​ ​bug with numbers? Or new kind of scamming?..​ Should I do something?

Sorry for mistakes, english is not my native language.

I need a plan for Norway and I was about to check out with a 3gb for 30 days plan on saily but I got a random stupid question right before I paid. Is it 3gb for 30 days or is it 3gb per day for 30 days?

I have a Holafly eSIM but it’s giving me a lot of issues, constantly being on LTE instead of 5g even in the middle of London. Now I’m travelling elsewhere in the UK and not getting signal at all which has caused a lot of stress figuring out how to get places. I go to France at the end of the month and then Italy, there may be some locations poorer service and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations, or if you’ve had similar issues with Holafly? The same thing happened when I was in Bali.

I have done some research online but looking for anybody with experience/tips/advice about best eSIM for my trip to Canada.

It's a two week trip driving around Quebec. Cities but also remote areas. The main reasons for usage will be GPS when on the road, and maps/researching things along the way. Not bothered about streaming and things like that.

My partner could probably also do with the same so any 2 in 1 / family plans also would work well. Any tips or advice would be very welcome!

Anyone have a good recommendation for a reliable esim for north cyprus. Some reviews are 50/50

Many thanks

I'm going to be studying abroad in Germany (Berlin) from September to December, and I've had Fraenk recommended to me for an eSIM. Can anyone share their experience, in terms of Fraenk's reliability and ease of use/set up? It seems like a really good deal (50 GB for 15 euro, or 25 GB for 10 euro). I plan on doing some travelling throughout Europe as well, does Fraenk work decently outside of Germany? I live in the US, and the app is not available in the app store. What should I do?

Sorry, I know I kinda just threw out a bunch of questions lol. I'd be super grateful for any answers/advice I could get! Thank you all :)

Hi All,

I am looking at the unlimited data options for Esimflag and Holafly, price-vice they are within the same price-range for me as I have a discount on Esimflag which makes it the same price as Holaflys unlimited monthly plan.

Does anyone has tried out Holafly and Esimflag and would be able to share their experience with it?

Its more a question of comfort, of putting an global unlimited Esim into my Mudi 7, and just have it on always with our devices connected to it as soon as we land anywhere we land or are going to.

I know there are other providers out there but i am particularly interested in these both as I more inclined towards them.

Any Feedback of anyone who had used any of them would be appreciated.

My travel would include: Turkey, Japan and rural areas of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Thank you.

Im going to dubai this week. Is there any option to buy esim online for data connections?

I will fly to York uk on Sept next month and I am from India
Can you guys tell me how should I operate uk and Indian sims ?
I have iPhone 13 with dual sim and currently I am using my Indian sim as physical sim! I can add one more as eSIM!

But I want your opinion guys please help me!

Also what are the better sims for uk?

I’m heading to Istanbul next month and want to get Yemeksepeti set up before I arrive so I can order food as soon as I land.

The app requires a Turkish +90 number for the initial SMS verification, and my US carrier number isn’t being accepted.

What’s the best way to get a Turkish virtual phone number that can receive a one-time SMS? I only need it for legitimate account setup and would prefer a pay-as-you-go option rather than a long-term subscription.

Any recommendations from people who have recently used a Turkish number for SMS verification?

i’m travelling for 17 days to the states, which is the most reliable e sim company?

please recommend which ones should i take?

i mostly need data only.

T sim, airalo, has anyone tried matrix?

I'm going to be in europe later this month in france and italy and short duration day trips in belgium and austria, can't decide whether i should choose airalo or saily. They're currently my 2 top choices. Please help me figure out which is better and if there's a better third option!!

Hi everyone! I’m coming to London tomorrow and I’ll be staying for a week. I only need an eSIM for mobile data/internet. Could you recommend a good and affordable option? I’d really appreciate any suggestions based on your experience. Thanks!

Hi, I just moved to dubai and found out that J am not receiving any of the OTPs or SMS on my Indian phone number (its jio). I forgot to enable international roaming beforehand and now I cannot do it because it needs otp to login to the app that enables the intl roaming, real chicken and egg problem.

Anyone know how I can start to receive OTPs and other SMS on my phone number?

Thanks

wondering what folks have tried and suggest with the least hassle?
