Saves a lot of money and time

Saves time cuz you don’t gotta go to a shop n buy one. And you’re getting real good deals while potentially not getting ripped.

Couldn’t activate sim in Turkey

Absolutely horrible doesn’t want to activate no connection what so ever currently having a hard time should used another eSIM provider like airgo

Worked perfectly until recent “updates”

Purchases disappeared from my wallet with no refund

US Norwegian and Swedish purchases stopped working with data limit not reached before expiry date.

UK purchase which was noted as Vodafone would not connect to their network.

Now Customer Service archiving and closing my chats without contacting myself.

Be wary!

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.

Easy

Lovely app and service. I use it for short term boosts in my own country. It works out cheaper than my provider.

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.

Exactly what I needed!

This was the perfect platform to get data on holiday in the US! Really good value and could buy in advance then activate it when I needed it. I had great signal (better than my friends who’d bought physical sims in store at home) which meant we could navigate where we needed even in (most of) the middle of nowhere! Will be using again :)

An app with potential

It’s a good app that solves an annoying problem for me. Biggest issue I have right now is the sillyness & inconvenience of buying an esim on my phone which I then receive a QR code for that I need to scan on a different device to add the Esim. Often I only think of this app when I’ve landed in a different country and don’t have another screen to hand.
