Why can’t I buy a Monthly plan when getting my Ubigi eSIM profile from the website?

You cannot purchase a Monthly plan when buying an eSIM profile with a preloaded data plan from the website because you do not yet have a Ubigi account. A Monthly plan requires a registered credit card in your Ubigi account to process the recurring monthly payments.

When purchasing your eSIM profile with a preloaded data plan, you can select a One-Off data plan listed on this page of our website.

Once you have installed your Ubigi eSIM profile and created your Ubigi account, you will be able to top up at any time with One-Off, Monthly, or Annual plans.

I was pleasantly surprised with the service from Ubigi eSIM, I’ve always gone with my phone provider for roaming but found them to be very expensive this time as I was travelling to Canada and USA. A friend had recommended Ubigi so thought I’d give it a go, great value and a lot cheaper than my provider. The service coverage was great and had unlimited data too!

Went with Ubigi after a bit of Internet comparison for a trip to Seoul and Ishigaki in Japan. I had no problems with the set up other than navigating some changes on my phone (in SIM Manager). The esim came online as soon as I had changed my settings in Seoul and I had no issues and good data throughout four days in South Korea including navigation maps. Ishigaki is a long way from the main Japanese islands but again no issues with connection even on local ferries. I will use Ubigi again.

Ibigi was so much cheaper than my home carriers roaming service. It saved me a ton of money, especially traveling with a family of 4 who all want data access. We got each person the 10gb for 30 days plan and it was plenty for a 2 week trip. Just try to use Wi-Fi when you're in the hotel or at a restaurant, and save your mobile data for navigation, Uber, etc.
