Check out our users' Esimatic experience
I travel more than eight months a year to stay in touch, I use Esimatic app. Using Esimatic is much more cost effective than paying roaming charges. I had connection in the most inaccessible places.
I travel quite a lot, so this app has been fantastic to reduce some aspects of my travel costs. It's especially great if you are going to several different countries at once because you don't have to go through the effort of getting different physical Sim cards for each country
This is a great app and eSIM service with competitive pricing. While on holiday in Australia I bought 10GB of data for $28 that I could use across 30 days.. much cheaper than daily roaming charges. Easy to use and install!
It was amazing because as a student, I have used the advantageous opportunities which esimatic specially offers to students all around the world. It was quite cheap for me..
The app is very easy to use and seems to support almost every country in the world. It's made my travel much easier as I don't have to buy a new sim every time I go to the airport or give out a new phone number to my wife and friends. The prices are reasonable, about what I normally pay for a sim package and they have options for longer stays too.
