easySim provides low-cost, prepaid travel eSIMs, which will cut the cost of using your mobile phone when you travel abroad in over 150 countries. No more dodgy WiFi or messing around with fiddly sim cards.
“Great value compared to the price quoted by my network provider. Needed some help to set it up but once it was installed it worked well. I didn’t receive any OTPs whilst on the eSIM, not sure whether I should have or not.”
“The 1 GB eSim worked well. and was easy to install. I did have a problem in that i was sent a message saying the data ran out when my phone was saying I had used 0.9 GB of data.”
Hi David, thank you for you review and we are delighted our eSIM worked for you.
Your Android phone's data usage tracker provides an estimate of the data you've used based on the apps and services your phone can monitor. However, there's an important note on your phone's data warning screen:
"Excludes data used by operator networks."
This means your phone does not track all types of data. Specifically, it can miss the following:
Background system traffic or setup traffic: Some network-level operations (such as authentication, session management, or network pings) are invisible to the Android tracker but still count towards your total usage.
Data used before the phone's tracking started: If any data was used between activating the SIM and setting the phone's warning (e.g., setup/connection traffic), it would count toward your 1GB bundle but not appear in your phone's stats.
Operator-specific data (e.g., signal reporting or provisioning traffic): Your phone doesn’t register these, but they can be recorded by the mobile operator.
The good news - our data tracker is 100% accurate and you can view that anytime by signing in to your account at www.easysim.global.
I hope that helps and we hope to see you onboard again soon.
Safe travels,
Jim
“The eSIM was definitely 'easy' to use ☺️ and good value for money. I would recommend purchasing one if you want to avoid a hefty phone bill when you return from holiday.”
“easySim was relitvely straight forward to install although I did require support from my daughter who has a lot of experience with installing sims for different regions. I wasnt aware of the Prmary and secondary function on my phone but once installed (circa 5 mins installation time) it appeared to work ok with resonable coverage. I took one international call with good reception with my other calls made via data usage using whatsapp. I would use easySim again. I was very happy with the overall service.”
“We went on a cruise covering Eastern Mediterranean so thought that the Europe SIM would do the job. Checked all the countries we were visiting and this seemed like a good fit. Worked flawlessly in all the stops we had - even 2000 meters up Mount Etna. Got to Montenegro and had no signal at all (even though it was one of the included countries) anywhere so had to rely on a coffee shop WiFi network to access WhatsApp to send our son pin drop of where we were. All in all though would use again.”
Hi Lance,
Thank you for your 4 star review and we are pleased our eSIM worked for you.
For clarity, Montenegro has never been on our list of countries on our Europe bundle so I would like confirm what you were looking at just incase we have made an error some where. I will contact you offline to find out more.
Safe travels,
Jim

“Used EasySim in Morocco in April-May 2025. Installation was easy and cell service was good throughout the country. Only hiccup was that you need very good wifi to install the eSIM and airport in Casablanca was spotty. Top up process went well though it gave me a second eSIM when I thought it would simply add data to my existing one.”
Hi Ronald, thank you for your review and we are delighted our eSIM worked for you.
By the way, all top ups are added to your existing eSIM so you did not need to delete and reinstall - it's easy!
We hope to see you on board again soon!
Safe travels,

Hi Grita, thank you for your 4* review and we are delighted our data eSIM worked for you!
You are correct, our eSIM is not for traditional calls or SMS but you can send calls and messages using apps like WhatsApp and Facetime as these use data. I hope that helps and we would love to see you onboard again soon. Please get in touch if you have any other questions. Safe travels, Jim - easySim.
“Really easy to use to access internet while abroad. I was not sure how to use it to receive texts or phone calls which caused some difficulties, so need to research this for next time I am abroad.”
Hi Amanda, thank you for your review and we are delighted our eSIM worked for you.
For future reference, our eSIMs are data only and not designed for traditional phone calls and SMS. However, you can make calls and send messages on apps like Facetime and WhatsApp as these use data.
If you need to make calls using your mobile/cellular number, you can select your Primary SIM for calls and SMS but your home mobile network provider may charge you for calls and SMS while roaming - so, we recommend you switch it off while travelling.
I hope that helps and we hope to see you on board again soon!
Safe travels,

“Once I got the hang of turning it on&off It was good .It did not work while ship was at sea , hence the need to turn it off I was also very careful when I used it .
Thanks would use it again .”
“Easy to install and use.. Gave very good coverage as we traveled through Florida. Would love to have had some old-fashioned Telephone coverage though. This would have given me a 5* experience.”
“Purchased for use in Portugal. After a car breakdown was unable to connect to the the local contact or the UK. After contact from Easysim I was mistaken and did not realise that you could not use the sim for mobile phone calls in Portugal and are for data only. On using the easysim for data, I had no problem and it worked fine. Now I know the limitations of the sim I would certainly use them again in Portugal. The company responded to my review very quickly and in a pleasant manner. I have only given four stars as the sim does not include making local calls, which I was not clear about on purchase. Otherwise it was a fairly easy process to purchase, activate and was competitively priced.”
Hi Graham, thank you for your review and I am sorry to hear about your car breakdown. I can see your eSIM was connected and you used 1.2GB of data so it was working in Portugal. I have also checked our support platform and I cannot see any help requests from you which is a shame. It is really easy to ask for help - just tap 'Help' when signed in to your account for the fastest response to any enquiry.
Our eSIMs are 'data only' and not designed for traditional calls but you can make calls using apps like WhatsApp and Facetime because they use data. In an emergency, you can switch your Primary SIM on to make a call but your home network provider may charge you for that call.
I am going to contact you offline to find out more. Safe travels, Jim - easySim.
“Everything worked well except the instruction to scan the QR code to activate, I needed another device to open up my email and then scan with my phone. I was over cautious and didnt use all my data but very easy to swap countries as i travelled.”
Hi Janet, thank you for your review and we are delighted our eSIM worked for you.
By the way, there is another way to install your eSIM without the QR code and we have helpful video guides for iOS, Android and Samsung in our 'Help Centre'.
Safe travels,

Hi Mathieu, thank you very much for your 4 star review and we are delighted our eSIM worked for you in the main. I have checked our support platform and I cannot see any 'Help' requests from you which is a shame. I am sure we could have helped if you were experiencing slower speeds in some locations. I hope you will try easySim in the future and please let us know if you need any help - just tap 'Help' when signed in to your account for the fastest response to any enquiry. Safe travels, easySim.
