Voice not working 99% of the time

I have bought couple of eSIMs for me and family for our holiday; however, you can’t guarantee that voice will work, line will just not go through most of the times. Barely you will be successful and be able to do a phone call. Called the customer support without success. I don’t recommend and will never buy from sim local again.

Best eSIM Service

Very simple and easy app to use. Huge amount of service countries. Most have no speed reductions on unlimited plans.

Just would like to add in the app the ability to purchase more than one eSIM at a time.
