Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Extremely convenient

Pros: Extremely easy to set up and to purchase additional data online. Very, very convenient.

Cons: I could not set up a "hotspot" to connect my laptop to the internet so ended up having to get a second physical Sim for that. Coverage in parts of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia was not great.

Excellent service and very convenient

Excellent service and very convenient for travelling abroad. The eSIM was easy to set up, worked reliably throughout my trip, and provided excellent connectivity saving roaming charges.

Vodafone Esim works ok in Africa

Vodafone Esim worked well in Africa. The coverage is reasonable though not all encompassing, using single country sims was good, then switched to the multi country Africa which was less hassle, its a pity you cant have the unused data rolled over with sims.

Stranded on arrival... did not work on late model…

eSims did not work on late model Samsung S series phones. Ended up getting regular Sims and putting in a mobile hotspot after being stranded with no internet or phone. Three different phones, all set up correctly, verified with AI even and not functioning when we arrived as promised. If you're traveling from outside the country you're only going to find out at the moment that you land in the country that the Sim is for so I cannot recommend this to anyone. Fortunately we were prepared with a hotspot backup

Terrible internet – complete waste of money

The internet connection was terrible and practically unusable. I paid for the eSIM expecting to have reliable internet during my trip, but it simply did not work properly. I ended up wasting my money and had to buy a separate SIM card for internet at my hotel, which worked perfectly without any issues. Very disappointing experience and I definitely would not recommend this service
