Once you found out how to use and connect it then all was good it says it automatically connects which is not true you have to sort it out for yourself I went for unlimited for 7 days it took 2 days to sort it out the over 5 days used 3.5 gb So if I used it again I would go for the cheapest rate

Works most of the time
When it works, it works great! But there's been a few times the data just stops working, especially texting. I try to troubleshoot and nothing.... Then it'll randomly start working again. So strange! But for the most part it's good!

Multiple esims
Especially when using multiple esims, it was a bit challenging to set up these Sims. It was also not quite clear initially, that you need wifi to download.
