First time using an e-sim First time using an e-sim, used Airhub for 4 of us on a trip to Canada. The process was very straightforward and the sims worked perfectly. The only thing to be aware of is that it can take up to 12 hours for the QR codes to arrive. We ordered our sims before a 9 hour flight mine arrived within a couple of hours which meant I had data when I landed, the others arrived on the transfer to resort. Worth bearing in mind if you want this taken care of before you land.

Never again customer service is useless EDIT: no matter how many time I tell thesE people the reply below IS typical. UK NUMBERS COULD NOT CALL ME. THEY WENT TO VOICEMAIL. AAARRRGGHH. Never again. 30 day eSIM with local voice calls. The customer service is just dire. Arrived in Australia data worked almost straight away. Gave me a uK number ( a big selling point) it never worked. Anyone calling from the UK went straight to voicemail. Tried the chat, no response then get a random email in return: not once did anyone answer the chat in the app after multiple attempts. Respond with your issue get another response asking the inane questions over and over, from different operators about the same issue. Different answers. I gave up after the 6th attempt to get this company to answer why no-one could call the UK number. International calls not allowed. So why give a UK number. Calling local numbers was very hit and miss. Ended up using WhatsApp most of the time.

Run for the hills Stay away. I bought a Europe unlimited monthly data eSIM, it has worked on and off in the first few days but after a week it has just stopped working. Can’t get any support. I am in France and could really do with the data for translating, planning my trips and ordering cabs. I am annoyed that I wasted $32usd on such crap!

Connection lost both times It was ok. I used airhub in Tunisia and India. Installation was easy both times and the value is good. However, in Tunisia, it worked magnificently for a few days, then fully stopped working even though we were in a big city and I was not even halfway through my data cap. In India, my phone kept losing connection. I had to go to airplane mode and back to regain connectivity. I might use them again, but will always look at alternatives as well.

A bit of a faff but great signal once up and running Recently used this for a trip to the British Virgin Islands. Although they sent a confirmation email prior to the holiday it did not contain a QR code. Had to do quite a bit of chasing to get it via the support email. They managed to send it through within 24 hours of first contact and the signal was brilliant and set up was easy.
