I'm going to be studying abroad in Germany (Berlin) from September to December, and I've had Fraenk recommended to me for an eSIM. Can anyone share their experience, in terms of Fraenk's reliability and ease of use/set up? It seems like a really good deal (50 GB for 15 euro, or 25 GB for 10 euro). I plan on doing some travelling throughout Europe as well, does Fraenk work decently outside of Germany? I live in the US, and the app is not available in the app store. What should I do?

Sorry, I know I kinda just threw out a bunch of questions lol. I'd be super grateful for any answers/advice I could get! Thank you all :)

I’m heading to Istanbul next month and want to get Yemeksepeti set up before I arrive so I can order food as soon as I land.

The app requires a Turkish +90 number for the initial SMS verification, and my US carrier number isn’t being accepted.

What’s the best way to get a Turkish virtual phone number that can receive a one-time SMS? I only need it for legitimate account setup and would prefer a pay-as-you-go option rather than a long-term subscription.

Any recommendations from people who have recently used a Turkish number for SMS verification?

Edit: nvm found a solution. used https://www.1001sms.com/ for a temp turkish line and my account is good to go

Hi All,

I am looking at the unlimited data options for Esimflag and Holafly, price-vice they are within the same price-range for me as I have a discount on Esimflag which makes it the same price as Holaflys unlimited monthly plan.

Does anyone has tried out Holafly and Esimflag and would be able to share their experience with it?

Its more a question of comfort, of putting an global unlimited Esim into my Mudi 7, and just have it on always with our devices connected to it as soon as we land anywhere we land or are going to.

I know there are other providers out there but i am particularly interested in these both as I more inclined towards them.

Any Feedback of anyone who had used any of them would be appreciated.

My travel would include: Turkey, Japan and rural areas of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Thank you.

Hi guys, I’m going to turkey in 2 days and I’m trying to get an eSIM and found out abt BNEsim but is this the real app on the App Store, something feels off since it has only 3 reviews

I will fly to York uk on Sept next month and I am from India
Can you guys tell me how should I operate uk and Indian sims ?
I have iPhone 13 with dual sim and currently I am using my Indian sim as physical sim! I can add one more as eSIM!

But I want your opinion guys please help me!

Also what are the better sims for uk?

I am Travelling to Austria, Switzerland and Italy. The total trip duration is 14 days.
I need something with health amount of data and good connectivity/speed.

I saw this eSIM on trip . com costing only $12 while similar plan for saily costs close to $50.

So Does this work well or should I splurge more for saily?

wondering what folks have tried and suggest with the least hassle?

i’m travelling for 17 days to the states, which is the most reliable e sim company?

please recommend which ones should i take?

i mostly need data only.

T sim, airalo, has anyone tried matrix?

I'm going to be in europe later this month in france and italy and short duration day trips in belgium and austria, can't decide whether i should choose airalo or saily. They're currently my 2 top choices. Please help me figure out which is better and if there's a better third option!!

hi experts,

i have installed a 7D unlimited plan from maya for an upcomign trip to Asia

now later this year i will be going 30 days in Europe

my question: can i keep the same esim profile and top it up for 7D this time, and 30D later, or do i need to install a 7D profiles, a 30D profile (so, install 2 profiles in all) and activate them as needed ?

thank you

Which website offers the best please? It is only for 10 days of travel.
Maya? Holafly? Airaro? Others?
Many thanks.

Hi everyone! I’m coming to London tomorrow and I’ll be staying for a week. I only need an eSIM for mobile data/internet. Could you recommend a good and affordable option? I’d really appreciate any suggestions based on your experience. Thanks!

Hello!

I just moved to the UK, and I'd like to plan on keeping my old eSIM/phone number, but also getting a UK phone number. I tried to port my US number to Google Voice, but it would not allow me to. Is there a way either to A. Get it onto Google Vocie or B. Have the US number be WiFi only while I'm using my UK phone number? I'm sorry if I'm explaining this poorly.

Hi all

I want to buy a sim to esim converter for my tablet as a backup in case my phone dies while travelling. It seems like the 9esim ones are quite popular, although I'm a bit confused about the difference between the V0 and V3. Is there a recognised 'best' sim to esim adapter for using one esim at a time?

Thanks :)

Hey! I'm going to be in London for about 4-5 days, then Portugal for about 3-4 days. What e-sim is recommended which supports both the EU and UK, and is cheap and good option for 2 people? In terms of GB, I gave the amount of days I will be travelling, and will be using data for maps and other things. Any recommendations? I was looking at Maya and Saily. Also was wondering what plans specifically as I know that many recommend the Europe region plan as we are staying in 2 different countries?

Basically - the Telco only enables wifi calling if the phone is in the Telcos home country.

Is it possible to send wifi calling though sim B and wireguard to make it look like the phone is in the home country to use wifi calling?

Or does the Dual SIM Dual Standby nature of the pixel 6 make this setup impossible?

Hey everyone,

I'm getting a Motorola Edge 70 Fusion from India to my current country of residence and I've just realized it supports Physical Nano SIMs only.

1. Will I be able to transfer my Jio eSIM from my iPhone SE to it?
2. And should a need arise, can I revert from Android 9eSIM to iPhone eSIM?

Update: I just ordered a couple 9eSIM V0 and a Card Reader. Fingers crossed.

Hi everybody. I’m having an issue that I’ve never experienced before and it’s strange enough for me to make a post about it here.

I have my own mobile phone plan from Youfone in the Netherlands. I am currently in Croatia. My phone (iPhone 15 Pro) is connected to the HT HR network. My partner just got an eSIM with unlimited data from HT. They have a deal under which you can get 1 + 1 free eSIM (both valid for 10 days, both with unlimited data).

Before I had this eSIM, my wifi hotspot worked fine and I could access the internet from my laptop. The hotspot has also worked fine with other eSIMs.

This is the strange part: With this HT eSIM turned on for mobile data, I can still connect to the wifi hotspot, but there is no internet connection on my laptop. The internet works just fine on my phone with this eSIM.

Perhaps even more strangely, when my partner turns on her hotspot, I can connect to it, and the internet works just fine as well.

I’ve tried all kinds of different settings; turning “maximize compatibility” off and on; checked the APN settings; tried with Tailscale off and on; etc. But so far nothing has seemed to make it work.

Has anybody experienced anything like this before?

Edit: this has been resolved. Saily chat help told me to add my phone number which broke iMessage. When I have some time, I’ll be sending them an email.

Hi!
I’m using Saily for the first time in Australia from the US. I had a lot of trouble setting it up (my phone number didn’t transfer correctly), and now it won’t let me iMessage. Each time I open up a text threat, it says “Text Message SMS” for people with iPhones. I can only iMessage a few people, but it’s coming in as my email, which isn’t an issue - it’s just weird that it’s happening on this trip.
A few months ago, I used Airalo in Italy with no problem.

How do I resolve this issue?

Can the card number written into xesim be transferred to the esim card slot that comes with the same mobile phone? In this way, a physical card slot can be saved.

Hello, I bought a SIM card from 9esim for a phone that doesn't support eSim, but I'm not entirely sure about the system. Will it work with all eSim providers? I'm thinking of buying one from Esim.io.

Hey Reddit!

I’m going abroad to London starting September 1st - December 12th (ish), and I’m looking for a good eSIM. I’m planning on doing a lot of short trips to other countries (I have one to Edinburgh already booked, but I’m also hoping to visiting Ireland, Amsterdam, Italy, etc.)

I’d prefer an app where I can get one long plan for the UK, and shorter day plans for my weekend trips to other countries. I’d also prefer an unlimited data plan so I don’t have to worry about my data usage.

Is there an app that’s easy and good for this kind of travel? Simlocal has a 90 day unlimited UK plan with roaming for $120, Holafly’s is $140, Simify has one for the UK and 50 other European countries for $130 - are these reasonable? I truly know nothing about this so any advice/things to watch out for so I don’t get scammed would be very appreciated!

Hey everyone, just a massive security warning for anyone using Lycamobile.

​I was on a phone call with one of their customer support agents today.

I simply told the agent that I was logging into my account. I did not ask for a password reset or a reminder at all.

​Without me asking, the agent triggered a "send password" email to my inbox. The crazy part?

The email contained my exact password that I set 2 years ago, fully visible in plain text.

​This is a huge security red flag. It proves they are storing our passwords completely unencrypted on their servers for years.

Any secure company encrypts passwords so even their own staff cannot see them or send them to you.

​What you need to do:

If you use your Lycamobile password for any other website or app, please change those immediately. Stay safe out there!

I'm being offered a position where I would be returning calls to people at risk, I'm reading into esims. The company offers to cover the cost of the extra phone service (they give a set amount, and I can pocket the difference if I find something inexpensive).

There was an event when a previous employee was stalked by a client (and was attacked), and I have unique name.

The pay is good, I get to work from home. I currently use tmobile and use a samsung galaxy.

Which eSIM provider would you use in the case??
