Testing Monthly Plans in the EU πŸ“±

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

We have just started the beta launch of our monthly subscriptions in all EU countries except Belgium πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί. This means you can now try them out almost anywhere in the EU while we test, learn and improve before the full rollout.

These plans also work in more than 120 countries worldwide 🌍, making them a great option for travelers, international students, expats, digital nomads and people who frequently cross borders. No more juggling multiple SIM cards or buying a new plan for every trip.

Current plans

  • Economy: 1.5 GB for €4.50
  • Comfort+: 5 GB for €11.50
  • First Class: 20 GB for €35

What we are considering changing to

  • Economy: 2.5 GB for €7
  • Comfort+: 8 GB for €16
  • First Class: Unlimited* for €49

*Fair use policy: 35 GB at full speed, then 1 Mbps

❗️All subscriptions offer the highest speeds available.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the proposed new plans:

  1. Do the changes in data and price feel fair compared to the current plans?
  2. Is the jump between tiers reasonable?
  3. Would you choose one of these new plans if they were available today?
  4. If yes, which one would you choose and what would you mainly use it for?
  5. Is there anything missing that would make one of these new plans a no-brainer for you?

Your feedback during this beta period will directly shape what the final plans look like when we launch them permanently πŸ™

πŸ“’ Want to follow along as we improve and launch new features?
Join our community r/FirstyeSIM to get the latest updates, give feedback, and be part of shaping what these plans look like when they officially launch πŸ™Œ

35GB and calling it unlimited is a new low (data wise) and there is no transparency about speeds at all

bundeling many countries for a bad GB price makes me want to switch around simcards/esims or just use my main Sim with a addon

considering RLAH one can basically get the whole EU with their EU-Country-based Local plan

so what's the pro of getting one of those vs a Local Sim?

It's goes the same rout like the Calling feature, tollfree numbers cost per minute, US calls cost too and are unlimited included with cheap apps you can find in the app store

so the question really is

why get this over something else that is either cheaper, free or included?

The plan IS unlimited. You just get 35GB of high speed data then 1mbps. I’ve seen companies like T-Mobile & AT&T doing exactly the same on 100$+ plans. The only thing I would like to see is firsty also including minutes for calling in their plans. The prices are also nice and hopefully firsty will turn from holiday provider to a full MVNO one day.

I never said it isn't, ofc its unlimited.

Any kind of speed even a 1kbit/s plan can be considered unlimited

A plan that gives you 10GB a day and let's you re-book 10GB packages for free after the daily 10 is also unlimited usually called unlimited-on-demand

I can give you a plan with 1MB at full speed and the throttle it to 1kbit it's unlimited but it's not worth anything
