Our eSIM worked perfectly
Our eSIM worked perfectly, with no connection issues throughout our travels in Japan. It automatically connected as soon as we landed in Japan.

Very good
Despite an initial issue installing the e-sim but customer sevice provided a quick reply and that was sorted. Coverage has been great. Fast mobile data. Not issues and just as good as my reception at home. Would definitely recommend.

UK eSim in Scotland
I used ny UK eSim in Scotland and most of the time it worked great. But sometimes I could not even use Google because the provider was so bad.

I was in Milan Italy and worked pretty much every where, no issues. It was a little spotty now and then while I was on the train.

I like ubigi because it’s very economical for the amount of usage. One thing that is hard is when you first sign on you have to be on all the right settings but it works well and it’s cheap. Thank you Ubigi.

Easy setup - reliable connection
It's been the second time to use an Ubigi eSIM in Japan. The installation is just the push of a button in the app. Once you arrive at the airport, the eSIM automatically activates. Fast data and reliable.
