      Really really good service

      Really really good service. I activated the sim but cant connect to the internet , so I deleted the esim and tried to re-activate. This sim can be activated ONCE only, and they write clearly on the sim cover but I didnt see it. Then I contact to the customer service and they made me a replacement which is, i think, i should buy another one. Thank you so much for your kindness

      I had subscribed for the esim in the middle of our Japan trip and it did not disappoint! I got their response within 30 minutes from subscribing, setup was quick and connectivity was very stable and speed was fast! Will subscribe again!

      Purchased E-sim for Malaysia

      Purchased E-sim for Malaysia. Received confirmation email fast and activation was smooth. Their whatsapp customer service was responsive when I encounted a problem (due to the local telco poor network coverage), and the staff walked me through troubleshooting and eventually managed to solve my issue. Will purchase e-sim from them for my next trip.
