Device not compatible with App 😔

After purchasing the app and trying to install the eSIM, the message said that my device was not compatible. I contacted Customer Service and they readily refunded my money.
The turnaround time for refunding it was less than 48 hours. Thanks, my friend. Now that’s great Customer Service.
☺️.

Wonderful product, outstanding customer service

After doing a lot of research on various eSIMs for international travel several years ago, I settled on AloSIM, and my first experience with the company and the eSIM was outstanding. The process of using AloSIM eSIMs is seamless, whether on an iPhone with one physical SIM slot and one eSIM, or iPhones with only multiple eSIM “slots”. Since my first experience, I’ve used AloSIM across several continents and multiple countries without a hitch, and have used them on three different iPhone models. And just within the past several days of writing this review, I needed to contact customer service, and within hours they solved the issue I was having. (It was not an issue with data access, it was simply an account issue.) I can’t recommend the company and product highly enough.

Reliable

Great customer service, patienct and professional

Reliable and Easy to Use

I’ve used them for a a variety of geographical regions in Europe and North America. Straightforward to set up and top up, and reliable connections.

Data disappears

I had about 180 MB left on my 2GB plan. I put the phone in airplane mode and only used WiFi. The next day, that remaining data was gone! And even on good days, it seems like you burn through data quickly. Also, they list the 3GB for $9 special down a few rows where you’re less likely to see it. I’m less than thrilled with aloSIM.

Great app for travel across the world

Get the app!

Perfect in South America

We’ve used id this year a 2nd time. Last year we travelled through Peru, Chile and Bolivia. This time we’ve been in Columbia. It worked all the time very smoothly.

Thank you for trusting aloSIM across multiple trips and for taking us along on another South American adventure! 🌎 We're really glad connectivity has been smooth every time. Hope the next destination is just as amazing! --Gianna

Recollection of pre-WiFi travel…chip never worked, so I got to rely on the kindness of strangers old

Thanks to AloSIM I spent much of my time looking for cafes, shops , and hotels that would share their WiFi. Finding my way around public transit brought me into contact with kind locals.—thanks again AloSIM
I had a 30 day chip which worked in Ireland for 6 days, but gave up the ghost in Spain. Tried customer support to no avail.
Friends in Spain said Alosim was spotty, but for me it was a complete WiFi blackout.

OVER 20 EMAILS TO FAKING ACTIVATE IT

Do NOT USE THIS APP

Easy

Easy to install and use.

I have several installed for different countries. It works as soon as the line is activated upon arrival. Just make certain your other line is disabled before turning off airplane mode.

The latest install showed pending for 40 minutes so I contacted support and it was solved immediately. Great product, great support.

Amazing

Had no problems and I am a frequent traveller. Great speed and prices.

Spot On live chat!

I purchased my eSIM via web with private email and later realized it’s different account than my usual. The customer support helped me the moment I connected them and resolved my issue.

Worst eSIM provider

The esim they provide doesn’t work good at all. O used them in Canada and USA both. And in US it just stops working at all through out my trip. And not to mention i was in a well connected area. Where my other sim worked fine. Same happened in Canada. I bought the unlimited plan but had to buy another one from local store. I kept on trying it every day to see if it might got fixed but it’s was always bad. I couldn’t even send a WhatsApp message. It always took 5 minutes to send a message

Response from developer

We sincerely apologize for the connectivity issues you encountered during your travels in Canada and the US. We have since identified that these disruptions were related to a network outage, which we understand had a significant impact on your trip. We'd like to make this right. Please reach out to our support team at support@alosim.com and reference case number 1076889 so we can process a refund for the affected plan. We appreciate your patience and are sorry for the inconvenience. Gianna

Absolutely Abysmal

I have no issues against AloSim. But I would strongly advise against using their service. I purchased an E-sim for my trip well in advance. On the day of my trip, at the airport I tried activating my sim and it didn’t work. Turns out AloSim was having some problem with their network operator (which is completely understandable), but why only mention this or bring it up at the last minute? My flight was in 30 minutes and I thought let me chat with support and get this solved. But turns out you can’t. I first spoke to a Chatbot which gave me a generic message, I then chatted to 2 agents (Bernardo and I can’t recall the other name) and all they did is literally copy paste the same message from the chatbot into the box. I waited for a while longer and no one replied or gave an update regarding an estimated time frame when this would be fixed. Surprise Surprise, the network never came back on and the sim never worked and I had to choose a different provider. Now, I would let it be if it was just a problem with me, but the group we went with, every single one faced the same problem of AloSim not working and leaving people stranded. Poor service. Never using them again. Use at your own risk.

We sincerely apologize for the disruption this caused on the day of your trip. We understand how stressful it must have been to encounter connectivity issues right before your flight. You're right that this was related to a network outage on our end, and we recognize that our communication and support response during that time fell short of the standard you deserved. We take that feedback seriously. We'd like to make this right. Please reach out to our support team at support@alosim.com and reference case number 1076890 so we can process a refund for your affected plan. We appreciate your patience and are sorry we let you down. Gianna

Disrupted Service, Bad Customer Service, Throttled Unlimited

First of all - UNLIMITED DOES NOT mean unlimited for aloSIM. It means 2GB in a 24 hour period until you are severely throttled to .5 MBit speeds. So if you are traveling and need information quickly such as for navigating … be prepared to wait and miss your turn, train, bus, etc.

Additionally my service was interrupted for half a day during an unlimited plan I purchased. Want to know what aloSIM offered as a resolution? A publicly available discount code for my next purchase. They didn’t even suggest extending my unlimited plan for the time that the service was down. What a joke.
