I scanned the QR code with my device but I got an error message. What should I do?

In case you get an error message when scanning the QR code to install your Ubigi eSIM profile, this may be because :
– your device is not eSIM compatible > you must use an eSIM compatible device to access Ubigi services
– your device is simlocked > contact the carrier you purchased it from to unlock it
– or you already scan your QR code more than 5 times > contact our Customer Support for further assistance.

Seamless connectivity
Seamless connectivity - no hassle at all. I wasn't notified when my data ran out though for some reason and would have liked more options on the packages available though - e.g. a bit more data for 14 days, but it was easy enough to top-up

Super easy to use
Super easy to use, very convenient and a lot cheaper than most other eSIM. Very glad to have found it and would highly recommend. No issues with coverage in Tokyo and Osaka.

Great eSIM at competitive price
Second time I have used Ubigi and could not be easier. Installed at home ages ago and it automatically kicks in when you arrive at your destination. Works a treat and saves you money.

Japan trip
Using Ubigi has been great during my trip to Japan! My friends used other ESIM’s and didn’t have the same use of ease as with mine with Ubigi. I’ll be using Ubigi for the rest of my travels.
