Switched from Google Fi
Switched from Google Fi and have not looked back. Works great. Fair terms of service and great customer support the one time I needed it.
Great customer service
I have been using popcorn across several countries in Europe and Africa and find it very convenient. In addition, the customer service has been exceptional. I definitely recommend
it over the many Esims on the marketplace

A slow traveler’s dream
I travel internationally all year long, stay in accommodations with terrible wifi and still have to make calls stateside and in the countries I travel in. Then I want all my phone apps and browsing to work flawlessly.
One thing the other eSIM companies don't tell you is they're only selling you data, not voice. To use your US- based voice line with international data roaming turned on or an expensive travel plan feature is financially unsound. Change a country and data rules and availability also change, as does quality of the connection in many less-developed regions.
For one monthly price, you set up Popcorn once and forget it. You call stateside from across the world like it’s a local call. Same when calling any country from your US-based phone. No headaches, no mental gymnastics calculating how much data you have left and how to add more minutes to it.
Once Popcorn is turned on, it just works and works great: for calls and apps and browsing. To me, it’s peace of mind, whether I'm in cosmopolitan Kuala Lumpur or a deep rainforest in Indonesia. It just works, piggybacking onto already established local networks.
Before Popcorn, there was anxiety and frustration travelers and expats do not need. Their phone is their lifeline and when there’s no signal, that’s a crisis. After Popcorn, those frustrations are gone and I can focus on more meaningful things…like traveling!

Less troubleshooting, more passport stamps! ✈️
Fully satisfied
Easy and reliable to use. Responsive tech support, excellent technical assistance whenever needed.
INCREDIBLE
I really needed this because Google fi has a limit abroad and we’re moving to Colombia for about a year. The support is STELLAR. Instant reply, helped at every step.
Moving my wife to the plan as well.

Loving it
I started off with the free trial in Germany and France and it worked great. I have since dropped Verizon and use Popcorn as my mobile phone provider exclusively. Live in Maryland, United States.
They will ruin your vacation. I got a surprise, huge data roaming Bill.
I got this plan after much hoopla and I’m traveling for a few months outside of the United States. It took two days to install because it kept getting errors. Now that it is installed you get all these confusing things like there is a new cell phone number for data that I don’t know. And calling in the US a lot of my phone calls fail and have to retry, and then you have to choose which phone number you want to use, which is a hassle —the proof will be when I am in Thailand and in Romania later next month. I hope I don’t get charged automatically by AT&T for roaming Which was my previous plan. I will update my review after I get back from my international travel. If it doesn’t work or I get any hassle, I will cancel the whole darn thing.

I wish we had done it sooner!!
We LoveLoveLove our connection and the great service provided by popcorn. We spent way too much money on eSIM apps (so expensive), actual data eSIMS and services and then over $300 a month for our ATT lines in the US with Intl day pass charges, just so we could still get Two Factor Authorization codes which added $180 per month to our “regular” lines and preserved our US numbers. Our new connection is stronger and it was the easiest transition ever. Customer service is great and everything moves along in real time. I highly recommend Popcorn and look forward to giving their service a good workout.

Thanks for the triple love! 💛 💛 💛
Excellent support
I have been using Popcorn Mobile for about 5 months now and their service across different countries has been superb with no issues in the US, UK, India, the Middle East etc. But the reason I am writing this is because of the excellent support that they provided me when I accidentally deleted the eSIM. This happened about 10 pm Arizona time and it was resolved by midnight. Popcorn is not a major company with customer support staff across different time zones - but they resolved my issue within 90 minutes of my message to them.

They saved me
I just like to say that they work with me until they got it right
Working as promised
I purchased in the Philippines now I'm back in the states for a few weeks working perfect
Don’t believe it’s as seamless as they tell you

Keeps taking money; no customer support.
App support useless. Can't transfer esim to new phone; after 3 months of issues and not being able to use the app thru address still trying to charger $69 a month. Total scam!
I have emailed you multiple times. I track them, they’re opened and read and you haven’t responded to my last 5 emails. But still, charging me $60 every month for nothing.

Fantastic
Game changer
China, South Korea, USA
The phone works in Dalian, China, BUT because of the firewall, you will need a VPN to access the Popcorn app. It still allowed me to text, call, and use Bing without a VPN though (couldn’t use Google or Safari). This also worked in Seoul, South Korea and in multiple states in the US. I had similar coverage from when I used other carriers in the US and Seoul. If I try in other countries, I’ll update my review when possible :)

So far so good
I just switched to Popcorn. I’m moving overseas from the US. This is my 7th international move and this is definitely the easiest time I have had figuring out phone service. It’s always been the thing I’ve dreaded. Especially now with so many MFAs and aging parents who need easy ways to reach me.
Setup was easy and when I struggled, customer service was quick and responsive. The best part is no longer having the array of SIM cards taped in the back of my phone case. It’s only been one day but I’ll try and remember to update when we see how it works in my new home.

Estética
El servicio es excelente pero él diseño de la app está obsoleto aun no tiene modo oscuro, a demás él icono resalta una diferencia negativa cuando lo comparas con los demás en él iPhone
Switched from Google Fi
Love the Popcorn app user experience. 7 day Free trial let me test if the connection was any good (it was). Great job!
Wonderful
Fantastic!!
Amazing!
This is an amazing phone service. If you are looking for excellent, outstanding customer service then Popcorn is Your app! I travel internationally and can call and text without having to use an app that is connected to Wi-Fi. Again, this is a tremendous, exceptional, phone app. I am of the older generation ‘baby boomer’ , and this phone service is amazing!
