I bought my eSIM profile with a preloaded data plan in US-dollars ($) from the website, but the currency is now different in my Ubigi account, why?

When purchasing an eSIM profile with a preloaded data plan on the Ubigi website, you can choose the currency in which you want to pay (Euro, US-dollar, Japanese Yen).

However, when you create your Ubigi account, the currency is applied automatically and it depends on the country of residence you have selected:

– If you selected a country of the EURO zone, the currency EURO (€) will be applied to all your purchases from your Ubigi account
– If you selected Japan, the currency JPY (Japanese Yen – ¥ ) will be applied to all your purchases from your Ubigi account
– If you selected another country beside Japan and countries of the EURO zone, the US-dollar ($) will be applied

If you selected the currency US-dollar for your first Ubigi purchase, but then created your Ubigi account with for instance France as country of residence, the currency EURO (€) will be applied for your future purchases on your Ubigi account.

Currently using in India
Currently using in India. Stable connection barring a small event where there was no connectivity for about a couple of hours on Sunday the 12th. Very handy, easy to set up. Happy so far.

This is the first time to use Ubigi eSIM service. I traveled to Japan last week. Installement and setup were so easy to do those, No need special skill at all !!. I recommend 7day no limit one for your short trip.

Ubigi worked straight away and was easy to use
Ubigi worked straight away and it was very easy to get it set up. Once I landed in Japan I turned the Ubigi e-sim on and it connected straight away. It worked on Okinawa and Ishigaki. Also worked when I was back in Tokyo. I only had to restart my phone once when it had a flakey connection - worked perfectly after a quick restart. Had great coverage when I was in Japan. I would use them again for my travels.
