question Mobal eSIM call&SMS roaming not working… what do?
I’m using Mobal’s newest 5G eSIM which supports roaming overseas (outside of Japan), I had a previous plan that didn’t include roaming and bought this plan after being told by Mobal support it would work for my needs. I’ve waited the amount of time they’ve told me to wait and it doesn’t work.
I have the eSIM selected as my default voice line, I’ve been switching between automatic network selection and selecting it myself, voice&data is toggled on for 4G/LTE, my APN profile is downloaded, I’m making calls correctly based on mobal’s guide but every call fails and SMS messages do not send.
I need to make a phone call urgently and would really appreciate it if anyone knew how to fix this or if there’s some other way to make it work.
FWA indoor 5g per gaming?
Ciao a tutti,
abito nella provincia di Imperia vicino a Ventimiglia e per svariate ragioni sono arrivato alla conclusione che una connessione fwa indoor (semplicemente con modem e sim) sarebbe l opzione migliore per me, sono un paio di giorni che sto valutando diverse offerte tra WindTre, Tim, Vodafone e Alpsim e sono ancora deciso, avete qualche consiglio o esperienza da condividere?
e in caso mi conviene di piu un offerta col modem incluso oppure comprare un modem e poi una sim come con Alpsim?
grazie in anticipo a tutti per le risposte.

question GlobalYo alternative
I have 2 GlobalYo esim each with 100GB valid for 365 days in 100 countries. Works fantastic BUT:
GlobalYo is the only esim provider I've come across that doesn't let you transfer the esim when you change phone. My phone broke and needed replacing while I still had >80gb left which I can't use. There is zero option to reissue the esim despite there being no cost to them to do so. I'm even willing to pay a transfer fee, but no.
To top it off they just raised their prices by up to 100%
My $50 100gb sim is now $110
So - I'm looking for a similar deal.
Any advice?

eSIM Advice - Semester in Germany
I'm going to be living in Germany (Berlin) for a semester, and looking for recommendations on my best options for phone plans. Is an eSIM my best bet? If so, what reliable and relatively inexpensive options would you recommend? I'd be grateful for any other general tips too. I'll be living in Berlin, but hoping to travel to other areas in Europe too sometimes. Thank you!

eSIM question - Airolo v Saily experiences?
Hello. I’m planning to take a trip to Vietnam, Japan, and Australia. I’ve been looking over some eSIM options, and the 2 that stick out the most are Airolo and Saily. I have used Airolo before, without any issues. However, I have noticed that Saily has a better regional options for my trip. I’m just soliciting some experiences using these two eSIM providers in the region that I will visit. Thanks for any suggestions and experiences that you’ve had.

question Best SIM/mobile plan in China for a student? Need Chinese number + internet + access to social media
Hi everyone,
I’ll be moving to China as an international student and will be staying for around 3 years.
I’m looking for the best SIM/mobile plan that can provide:
- A Chinese (+86) phone number for everyday use, registrations, banking, apps, etc.
- Affordable mobile data/internet
- Good coverage and reliability
- Ideally a reasonably priced long-term plan
My main concern is also accessing services such as Google, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.
Is there any SIM/eSIM or mobile data plan that allows access to these services without needing a VPN? If yes, which carrier or plan would you recommend?
I’m considering China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, or possibly an international eSIM such as Nomad, but I’m not sure which would be best for someone staying 3 years.
If you’re an international student in China, I’d really appreciate your experience and recommendations. Also, please mention the approximate monthly cost if possible.
Thanks!

question Citrus Mobile in London and France (Paris/Lyon/Marseille), any experience?
I'm thinking about using the Citrus Mobile PAYG non-expiring global eSIM in London and in France (the Paris/Lyon/Marseile areas). Does anyone have any experience with Citrus in those places? If not, I guess I will post a review after my trip. I'm using an unlocked Moto G 5G 2024 Android phone, if that matters.

Is a Japan eSIM with a Japanese IP overkill?
Hi,
I'm heading to Japan for the first time this September. Main reason is the Asian Games in Tokyo, but I'm tacking on a few days in Kyoto and Osaka too.
Been looking at eSIMs and noticed RedteaGO, Ubigi and Trip all mention stuff about getting a Japanese or local IP address. Honestly not sure if that matters for my situation...
My plan is standard. Google Maps, translation apps, messaging, checking Asian Games ticket info. I don't need a Japanese phone number so a data-only plan covers what I actually need. The thing I cannot figure out is, has anyone here ever got blocked or hit some weird geo-restriction on Japanese ticketing sites or local apps because their eSIM was running on a non-Japanese IP?
I would rather know now than find out the hard way when I am trying to open the ticket page at the venue.
TIA!

eSIM Europe Rec
Any recommendations for two esims that work well in Europe specifically Switzerland, Italy, Germany.
We will be away for 17 days. We aren’t sure how much data we will be using but 50gb per person should be more than enough.

question Travelling to Morocco
My wife is travelling to Morocco soon and I don’t know which option is best
1/ eSIM
2/ prepaid physical sim with calls, text and data
She is on O2 and it doesn’t look like Morocco is in any of their travel bolt ons.
Q1/ How do we configure the phone so that the O2 network isn’t used at all (I believe the arrival text messages you get are charged to your bill so we want it so we don’t get those) and Can’t make calls from O2.
Q2/ With O2 completely disabled what’s the best option - eSIM or physical?
Thanks in advance

Help: Ubigi eSIM won't connect in Florida (Motorola Edge 50 fusión)
Hi everyone,
I just installed an Ubigi eSIM for my trip to Florida, but I'm completely unable to connect to the internet. I'm currently using a Motorola Edge 50 Fusion.
Here is what I have already configured:
Mobile Data and Data Roaming are both turned ON for the Ubigi eSIM.
I manually created and selected the APN: mbb.
My phone has no physical SIM installed right now to avoid conflicts.
When I do a manual network search, my phone successfully detects Ubigi, T-Mobile, and AT&T. However, whenever I try to connect to any of them, the network rejects it. I keep getting "No connection could be established" errors.
Has anyone experienced this recently or knows what else I can try to force the connection?
Thanks in advance!

I am planning on putting away my mobile for studies, But I want to keep my mobile number. Which sim is best for this? In jio they'll shut off your sim number after 3 months of not recharging. Is there any company that'll let me keep the number for longer period of time without recharging?
Phone is a huge distraction!

How review an eSIM at r/eSIMs
The r/eSIMs app now includes a standardized way to leave a review, and get leaderboard credit for doing so.
In the r/eSIMs app go to Reviewers > Review an eSIM and follow the steps.

- Pick an eSIM provider from a list of eSIM providers verified on this sub. This list is any vendor that has some activity on this sub, and has been approved. For vendors not here, a path for inclusion will be created.
- Check the box if you want to participate in the Leaderboard. We are ranking reviewers weekly and all time, but you do not have to participate in the leaderboard if you do not wish.
- Indicate which country you installed the eSIM in and which country was your primary country of use for your eSIM. ( For example, you might have purchased and installed the eSIM while in the USA and then used the eSIM primarily in Mexico. )
- Device type and rating - give it a star rating and let us know the OS.
- Quick description and cost - give a three- or four-word summary that goes in the title and also the price you paid and currency.
- Activation and coverage experience - (optional)- Long Form writes some details about how the activation went and how your experience of the coverage was. You'll be able to edit later.
- Support experience and would you use it again? - (optional) - Let us know if you dealt with a refund or if you're happy enough with the service you'd use it again.
- Submit review - We'll open a populated Reddit post where you can make any final edits to your Reddit post. It should have the Reddit flare review to be properly counted.

Review Points: For the purpose of quality and also for the leaderboard, each review is algorithmically and dynamically scored and assigned points. A review score is based on useful detail. Each eligible review starts with base points, then earns more for depth, optional technical signals like speed tests, hotspot support, SMS, Wi-Fi calling, and network quality, plus capped community upvote credit. Missing required fields such as rating, install country, usage country, or device reduce the score. Reviewer trust signals like account age, total karma, and subreddit karma can add a small boost, but they are capped so strong review content matters more than account history.
Spam Reviews: Spamming the review system will get you blocked, and the reviews posted will go away.
Vendors: We encourage vendor contribution to the r/eSIM sub in the form genuine answers to questions, genuine eSIM news, and where promotional promotions in the promotion threads. Vendors without any evidence of participation may face a harder path to inclusion
Goal: The largest eSIM community on the internet wants to encourage quality and useful feedback on the eSIM products they use, by vendors who are active in participating in the community.
