The Ubigi eSIM worked great!
The Ubigi eSIM worked great! Both myself and my daughter used it and neither of us had any issues at all. The service was terrific. We set it up before we left and it worked like a charm once we landed at our destination in Europe. I would definitely use it again and recommend it to others.

Better data than Verizon!
For the majority of the trip I was able to get better reception in another country than with my cellular service provider (Verizon). It had way faster service. I was not always able to text, sometimes they did not go through and sometimes they did. For some reason if the person had an Apple versus Android, the text would only go through to the one that had the same type of phone. But it was not consistent to say it happened all the time because sometimes a text just would not go through. I was i able to make calls, it would ring but immediately hang up. But I'm giving it a 4 because I was always able to use maps or look things up when needed!

Worked as promised as soon I landed at Narita airport, it was very easy to set up and easy to track how much data was being used. I would recommend this ESIM especially if travelling to Okinawa
