Ubigi VS BetterRoaming

With Ubigi, you have more eSIM data plans with Ubigi: one-off top ups — ideal for travellers — and recurring subscriptions for regular users, while BetterRoaming’s plans are one-off only. Furthermore you can get data plans for eSIM compatible Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops (and soon Windows 11) with a list of laptop models with Ubigi pre-installed. BetterRoaming eSIM does not work with Windows 10 (hence laptops), but it does on Apple Watch unlike Ubigi.

Finally, Ubigi has better customer reviews than BetterRoaming on the App stores and Trustpilot.

Ubigi VS Gigsky

Both Ubigi and Gigsky cover 200+ destinations (with new openings every month), but Ubigi has more country-dedicated plans (close to local rates) on top of regional plans. Ubigi offers both one-off eSIM data plans — ideal for travelers — and recurring subscriptions for regular users, while Gigsky’s plans are one-off only.

Finally, Ubigi has better customer reviews than Gigsky on Trustpilot.

Ubigi VS Airalo

Airalo is a reseller of different eSIM providers. So, the same eSIM profile cannot be reused in all the destinations unlike Ubigi (once Ubigi eSIM is installed, it works in 200+ destinations). Moreover, Ubigi offers data plans for eSIM compatible Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops with a list of laptop models with Ubigi pre-installed. Airalo doesn’t provide eSIM data plans for laptops.

Finally, you can always access your account not only from the app but from our web portal too.

The best SIM network as it really never got disconnected even in the remote areas. We did few hikes in deep mountains outside Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, the network has never dropped. Thank you UBIGI I will use this network again.

Connection was good. Should be more clear on the instructions for installation. Example: how to setup the Sim settings in Sim management on android phone.

Fair
It works fine, good coverage, and good speed ! And the most important : regarding Data usage I never have the feeling to be cheated (what is always the case with GSM providers like ComSwiss, esirnuS etc.) !!!

The service was easy to set-up
The service was easy to set-up, competitive pricing and large area of coverage. The only thing that I found irritating was that often I needed to restart my phone for the data to be active again

Works quite well
Works quite well. No issues once I activated. The only drawback is figuring out when and how to activate. Twice I have been dinged by my cell provider for a days charge. It is not clear where I can or should activate while in my mobile provider's area

This was so easy to buy and even easier for me to load on my phone, so far it has been brilliant in Tokyo,worked perfectly, still got a week in Japan traveling around, for someone who's not great with this sort of thing and was worried about setting it up it's been a dream Will recommend this to my friends who are going to Japan next year
