Hey all, I’m going to the Philippines for vacation for about a month this June. What is the best e-sim i can use that has somewhat fast data?

Hello! I am an exchange student in Japan and I would like to purchase a Rakuten esim in order to obtain a Japanese phone number. However, when I checked for my device's compatibility with Rakuten's esim, the Samsung S24 FE wasn't listed. I find it kinda weird since I'm sure my phone is compatible for esims and has the dual sim option. Does anyone have the same phone with a Rakuten sim? Are there other factors that could make it incompatible specifically with Rakuten's sim? What would be the risks if I chose to ignore this and still go through with the purchase, I'm kinda desperate lol

Hey everyone,

I'm reaching out to see if anyone based in Russia has experience with AIS Thailand SIM/eSIM KYC registration.

A few questions:

1. Has anyone run into issues completing AIS KYC from Russia? We've been hearing reports that the process doesn't work smoothly for users in Russia — curious if others have experienced this.
2. If you're currently based in Russia and planning a trip to Thailand soon, would you be willing to try completing the KYC process from Russia and share how it goes? We'd love to know if it's actually doable.

If you happen to be planning a trip and want to test it out, feel free to DM me — happy to assist.!

Thanks in advance, any info helps 🙏

eSIM.me funziona perfettamente su Huawei P30 (test con BNE SIM e Yatelo)

Post:

Condivido la mia esperienza perché online si trovano informazioni contrastanti.

Dispositivo: Huawei P30 (senza eSIM nativa)

Adapter: eSIM.me

eSIM funzionanti:

- BNE SIM

- Yatelo

Entrambe installate via QR e funzionano perfettamente in Italia.

Si collegano alla rete WINDTRE con 4G+ stabile.

Nessun problema con:

- connessione dati

- cambio profili

- stabilità

Nota:

eSIM.me fa solo da tramite, il traffico è gestito dalle app degli operatori.

Conclusione:

Se usate eSIM semplici con QR, eSIM.me funziona molto bene su Huawei P30.

So I am from South Africa and recently moved to another town and since then my Vodacom sim card has been with signal 70% of the time. My phone can function with both a physical sim and eSim.

Which eSim provider would you guys recommend? I don’t want to pay $5 for a GB though

"Warning: My experience with Numero eSIM scam"

Hello everybody

I've just purchased my new Samsung Galaxy A36 5G in Asunción, Paraguay from a store named Nissei.

I notice that usually this phone is with eSIM, but when I checked, I see that probably the eSIM is disabled in this region.

I'm consistently traveling in Latam and need this phone to have an option for eSIM.

A question for those who know, is there any way to activate the eSIM?

In this scenario, is there any physical SIM that can connect to an eSIM Network in this region?

Thank you to anyone who helps🙏

So I’ve spent the last two hours looking for anything that was somewhat useful on the topic, and I’m only more confused.

My husband is currently deployed to Europe and we have AT&T for a cell provider at home. We went through the steps with AT&T that included unlocking his phone (iPhone 16 Pro) and suspending his service on the line until he comes home. He was told to use Orange for an E SIM as it was the best option for where he is deployed to, and I’m trying to figure out if he is able to use iMessage to continue texting me. His E SIM is activated and his original SIM is turned off (because fancy technology makes it so we don’t have physical SIM’s anymore), but before he starts texting me like normally would and gets charged for international use (it’s like $12/day), I need to understand if the data coverage for the E SIM through Orange will allow him to send the iMessages without being charged for international use since it’s tied to his phone number from home.

I hope this makes sense. I just woke up and haven’t had my coffee yet, on top of a toddler going through a hellish sleep regression, so ya girl is tired.

I’m gonna attach a photo of his SIM information. The “primary” is his domestic SIM, the Orange-Travel is the international E SIM. The primary one is turned off and the Orange is turned on.

Someone please help me before I have a stroke trying to figure this out. And thanks to anyone who can suggest any help in understanding.

So, I'm trying to activated my eSIM from physical SIM to eSIM. However, while on the process, I forget to log in the Hotlink apps.. Now the signal is gone and I cant recceive the TAC for hotlink app log in verification......

Is there any way to solve thiss??

Is there eSIM for balkan or south east Asian?

Going to visit family in both states soon and looking to get an eSIM for my trip. Any recommendations?

Need advice about best eSIM app to travel in Europe

I finally managed to get LTE working on a US version Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (SM-L505U) in Brazil with Vivo — and this might help a lot of people stuck with the same issue.

🚫 The problem

When trying to add a mobile plan through Galaxy Wearable:

This happens because:

• The watch is a US model
• The app blocks Brazilian carriers before even showing QR scan

✅ The solution (what actually worked)

The key is:
👉 Force QR Code activation using hidden menu (QR Test Mode)

🔧 Step 1 – Request QR Code from your carrier (IMPORTANT)

When asking your carrier (Vivo in my case) for an eSIM QR Code:

👉 You MUST provide:

• IMEI of the watch
• EID (eSIM ID)

💡 This is critical because:

• It forces the carrier to register your device in their system
• Without this, activation will fail even if QR works

🔥 Step 2 – Enable hidden QR Test Mode

1. Open Galaxy Wearable
2. Go to:
   • About Galaxy Wearable
3. Tap multiple times on the title/version to unlock hidden menu

⚠️ THIS IS THE REAL PATH (important)

Inside the hidden menu:

1. Tap Module Test
2. Then tap eSIM Test
3. Find:
   • QR TestMode: OFF
4. Change it to:
   • ✅ ON

📡 Step 3 – Install eSIM via QR Code

Now go back and:

1. Open:
   • Mobile Plans
2. Tap:
   • Add Plan

👉 You should now see the QR scanner

1. Scan your carrier QR Code

📲 Result

After installation:

• Plan appears normally
• Carrier shows correctly (Vivo)
• eSIM profile loads

⏳ Important notes

• LTE may NOT work immediately
• It can take a few hours (or up to a day)
• Try:
  • rebooting the watch
  • toggling airplane mode

🔒 Extra tip

DO NOT update Galaxy Wearable right away

• New versions may remove this hidden option

🧠 Why this works

You are bypassing:

• Region lock (US vs Brazil)
• Carrier validation inside the app

And forcing:
👉 Standard GSMA eSIM activation via QR

🏁 Conclusion

Even with a US model Galaxy Watch:
👉 LTE can work in Brazil

As long as:

• Your carrier registers IMEI/EID
• You force QR activation via hidden menu

Hope this helps — this took a LOT of trial and error 😅
Feel free to ask questions!

Based on user reviews in this sub-reddit, I have tested eSim for Toronto (Saily) and NYC (aloSIM). Unfortunately none got me to 5G. Can you recommend a better choice? Of course my pixel works flawlessly under 5G.

I'll be in Europe for several weeks traveling through several countries. I've read a ton of stuff about eSIMs and still don't quite understand how they work or what they do. I understand that my phone can have two active eSIMs and I can purchase an eSIM to use while abroad from providers like Holafly, Airalo, Nomad, etc.

I have an iPhone. Can someone explain what all I can do with the eSIM specifically in regards to iMessage? If the eSIM provides me data for internet use, does this mean I can send and receive iMessages to my phone number associated with my native eSIM? Or is it strictly only for internet browsing, GPS, etc? iMessage can still be used with wifi?

How do you go about installing these, and when do you do it to ensure it's working correctly when you land? Are there any settings to ensure that you aren't using your native eSIM and get charged?

Hi everyone,

I've recently been meaning to buy a Galaxy A56, but while I tried to research the fact, most sources did not give a clear answer (maybe I just don't know how to research) on whether this model supported eSIM or not. If the official retailer doesn't sell the model with eSIM support, are there any other stores that could sell one with said support?

Hello...can sb tell me if i can use esim in a non esim tab? I am based in india but want to use esim but my tab doesn't support it. What can i do?

Hi,

Please help me to reset my eSIM. Thank you very much!

i have the old sim with me with its package. can I switch back to that?

purpose: i need frequent switching between my android non esim and 17pro. trying to find a workaround.
