eSIM Go Reviews & Ratings

4.7/5

“Worth Trying, But Not a Perfect Replacement Everywhere”

Overall, eSIMGo is a solid option for travelers who want to simplify connectivity. It replaced many painful SIM swaps for me. But I don’t consider it perfect — I always carry local SIMs or alternate eSIMs as backups.

Pros : For many users, eSIMGo gives legitimate convenience, flexibility, and often adequate speed in many destinations.

Cons : Reliance on network partners means performance varies. As seen in user forums, the reliability depends heavily on region and local networks.

Switched from : Airalo

Reason to switch : I switched from a prior travel eSIM that had worse onboarding and higher costs. eSIMGo gave me a better cost / convenience balance even if performance is variable.

4.7/5

“Good for Short Trips, Less Ideal for Extended Remote Use”

On a ten-day European tour, eSIMGo covered me well in major cities. But when I stayed in rural towns or smaller islands, connectivity became patchy.

Pros : For city-hopping trips or 1–2 week tours, eSIMGo often suffices.

Cons : For extended stays in remote or rural areas, backup local SIMs or WiFi are safer bets.

Switched from : AloSim

Reason to switch : I switched from AloSim for shorter trips, but I still keep a backup local SIM for places eSIMGo can't reach reliably.

4.6/5

“Convenience, But Occasional Signal Dropouts”

I liked being able to roam between countries with one eSIM. But I experienced a few times where signal was shown but data wouldn’t load until I toggled airplane mode.

Pros : No need to change physical SIMs; roaming is easier.

Cons : Sometimes the eSIM shows signal bars but data fails or drops while switching towers.

Switched from : Saily

Reason to switch : I switched from juggling two SIMs because that’s messy. eSIMGo promised a smoother experience; in many cases it delivered, though not perfectly.

4.5/5

“Good Support, But Sometimes Lag in Response”

Once my eSIMGo plan wouldn’t connect in a city despite being in coverage. I contacted support; after some back-and-forth I got guidance to reassign the network. It worked eventually.

Pros : In a few cases, I got helpful responses from support for issues. Trustpilot reviews say they are available anytime for any concern.

Cons : Not always immediate; when network or connectivity issues happen, support sometimes requires repeated follow-ups.

Switched from : Nomad

Reason to switch : I left my previous provider due to nonresponsiveness. eSIMGo’s support is better than some, which made it worth risking the speed tradeoffs.

4.5/5

“Seamless Roaming, But Speed Throttles Occasionally”

On crossing a border, I expected eSIMGo to auto-switch networks. Often it did, but in some borders the speeds slowed dramatically.

Pros : Seamless switching across borders in many packages.

Cons : Some users speculate that local networks may throttle roaming users or cap speeds (e.g. 512 kbps) in some countries.

Switched from : FlexiRoam

Reason to switch : I previously used region-based eSIMs but had to buy new ones for each region. eSIMGo’s more global roaming was the draw, even if performance sometimes dipped.

4.5/5

“Works Well in Dense Zones, But Inconsistent Outside”

On my trip, downtown areas felt fine; but as soon as I traveled toward countryside, the connectivity was unstable.

Pros : Good performance in metropolitan or well-covered areas.

Cons : Data is very slow—e.g. 3 minutes to open google.com even with signal showing.

Switched from : Ubigi

Reason to switch : I switched after my previous eSIM had unpredictable performance outside cities. eSIMGo was a bet on “better everywhere,” but it's still inconsistent.

4.3/5

“Value for Money, But Not Always Dependable”

I used eSIMGo across several countries in a region (e.g. Europe). Often it was cheaper than multiple local SIMs. But when I traveled off the beaten path, I sometimes had to rely on WiFi.

Pros : For the amount I paid, I got decent coverage and ability to roam across multiple countries.

Cons : As some users note in forums, eSIMGo’s signal depends heavily on which underlying local network is used; in some coverage zones performance lags.

Switched from : Holafly

Reason to switch : I switched from classic local SIMs because swapping cards is a hassle. eSIMGo gave me convenience and cross-country roaming, though I sacrificed some consistency.

4.3/5

“Smooth Activation, But Speed Isn’t Always Reliable”

I landed in a foreign country and within minutes had data working via eSIMGo. But when streaming or using maps, sometimes it struggled, especially under load or cell congestion.

Pros : The activation process was quick and mostly seamless.

Cons : Speed often fluctuated; on occasion it felt throttled or laggy. A general review notes concerns about “safe, fast, easy to use” but raises questions about speed.

Switched from : Local Operator

Reason to switch : I switched because my previous travel SIM was expensive and had activation hassles; eSIMGo’s onboarding was easier, even if speed is inconsistent.

4.3/5

“Great in Cities, Struggles in Remote Areas”

During my European trip, I used eSIMGo as my data provider. In cities like Berlin and Paris, everything was smooth. But when I ventured into rural Germany or outskirts, connectivity became spotty.

Pros : In urban zones I had solid data speed, and the app was fairly easy to set up.

Cons : Once I left big cities, reliability dropped sharply, sometimes pages wouldn’t load even when signal bars showed strong.

Switched from : Airalo

Reason to switch : I switched from my prior eSIM provider because in cities I felt eSIMGo was cheaper or more flexible; but I kept an alternate eSIM for backup when traveling in remote regions.

4.2/5

“Easy to Manage Packs, But Hidden Coverage Gaps”

I appreciated being able to add data mid-trip via the app. But when traveling to more remote locations, I saw warning signs of coverage gaps or weak speeds.

Pros : The app lets you manage your data packs, top up, and check usage.

Cons : Some destinations or remote zones are missing or have weak partner networks; in forums users debate whether “eSIMGo is even a retail provider” or just a reseller.

Switched from : GigSky

Reason to switch : I moved from a provider that had strong coverage in mainstream cities but weak remote support. eSIMGo seemed to offer more route flexibility, but with some gaps I still carried backup.
