I cannot connect with my Ubigi eSIM, what should I do?

First, make sure that your location is covered by our services here.

If this is your first connection, it might take a few minutes for the eSIM to connect.

If your location is covered but no network shows on your screen after few minutes, try the following troubleshooting:

– Check that cellular data (3G/4G/5G) are activated on your device (in the Settings)
– Switch the device to “Airplane Mode”, then try to activate “Cellular” again
– Restart your device
– Do a manual network search: Select your Ubigi profile in Network & Internet, then go to “Mobile Network” and touch “Search Networks”. The list of available networks will be displayed, then select on that list one of our local partners (see the list here)
– For Windows 10, Windows 11 & Android only: Check that roaming option is activated in the Settings

Extremely cost‑effective service with an e‑SIM that is easy to install (note that as opposite to some of its competitors you get new eSIM per country - but that's not an issue for me). Ubigi was one of the first players in this field, and while the market today is full of companies offering travel eSIMs (and I use a few of them), there have been only few cases in which Ubigi did not offer the best deal. Coverage in many off‑beaten‑track areas is very good: if Ubigi cannot connect, it pretty much always means that there is no any network and my current telco SIM (despite the high cost of data roaming) will not connect either. The only issue I have faced is running out of credit and not being able to buy an extra package until I was on WiFi. However, during my recent travels I believe I was able to purchase an additional package over the mobile network even after my Ubigi data had been exhausted.
