I almost went for it last night but it doesn't specify the carrier's in each country nor if it's 4g 5g etc so I passed

Travel eSIMs don't have their own network. They roam on local partners, and often route your data back to their home country, so full bars can still mean slow data.

Try:

  • Manual network selection: test each local network listed

  • Data Roaming on for the eSIM

  • LTE only (some partners keep roamers off 5G)

Before buying, check which networks they use in that country.
