  • Slow connections

    I do appreciate how well this app works short term, Unfortunately though, I do tend to use a lot of mobile data for various things, so at a certain point the speed is severely slowed down.

    Downgrading the speed of internet to 512 kbps is makes unlimited plans highly not worth it as opposed to other esim providers who don't throttle connections.

    The 1gb and 5gb plans and all all work very well though, it kind of depends what you are seeking for internet.

  • I use ZIM often (have already used 6 times)…but

    Zim is super convenient and I use it often. But for some reason the last 2 or 3 times the QR code never works. I have to enter the activation code manually. Inconvenient and it gives me anxiety. It gives me a “no valid data found” error when scanning QR code.

    Also. Sometimes I have several hours after purchase to activate. Even though the app says it is ready. This also makes me feel like there is a problem

    Thankfully it has eventually worked out each time, but it’s unreliable/inconsistent to the extent that i may try another app.

  • Useless!

    I bought a plan but it didn't work. When I reached out to the support team, they asked me to send a screenshot of the issue. I sent it to them but they never got back to me. I asked for a refund but no answer either!
  • Excellent for travelling

    ZIM is a lifesaver when travelling. Without it I’d have no idea where I am and who I can communicate with. Highly recommended for any traveller!

    Thank you for choosing us! We're so glad you would recommend us to any traveller, we want to keep them connected wherever they go. Just so you know, we now offer voice plans on our app. You can get an Orange French mobile number that can be used across 40 countries in the EU roaming zone. 👌
