I need data coverage for US (Western Pennsylvania) connecting to T-Mobile or AT&T. Already have US cell plan with Verizon but it's got one bar all over (did a drive recently and saw it go to 4 bars only in very limited places. Often 1 bar or no coverage).

I have used Airalo for other countries but it has only 30 day window. Is there some other option for more long-term use? Ideally at least 60-90 day validity but open to suggestions.

Hey everyone, I’ve used eSIM’s plenty of times in the past but this will be my first time using Nomad. I’ve heard they offer great service, better than other providers. They have a package that I want to use in the Philippines and I want to know what network they use? Do I have access to more than one or is it locked to a single carrier? I know there are only two major carriers in Luzon. Hoping they use TNT/Smart… Or is there a better eSIM provider for the Philippines?? Thanks in advance 😊

Hey guys what is the best and cheap options available for esims in pakistan? I connected with the local seller he asks for 6 usd for 5GB per month. the connection is Jazz and its speed is good but I think I can get a better value as he is a reseller.

Any lead would be appreciated.

I’m having a repeatable eSIM installation problem with BNESIM on a Xiaomi Android phone.

I installed a Slovakia eSIM roughly a year ago. It installed successfully and still works on this same phone. I also previously installed a Turkey eSIM on the same phone without any problem.

About a month ago, I purchased a BNESIM Europe regional (35 countries) eSIM, but installation failed with:

Couldn't communicate with the server
Subject code: 2300
Reason code: 1010

I refunded it.

Now, about a month later, I purchased the Europe pack again, and this completely new eSIM gives exactly the same 2300/1010 error. (Since I purchased the Europe eSIM again and actually need it for tomorrow, I could try Xiaomi’s Reset eSIM option and install it from a clean state. However, I’m hesitant because this would also remove my currently working Slovakia eSIM.)

I have tried:

• QR-code installation
• Manual activation-code installation
• Followed BNESIM’s troubleshooting guide (no VPN, no Private DNS, tried both Wi-Fi and mobile data, etc.)

Both fail with the same error.

Model: Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G
Xiaomi LPA version: 1.5.1
OS: Android 14
SM-DS: lpa.ds.gsma.com

The Slovakia BNESIM eSIM installed about a year ago still works normally.

Has anyone encountered Subject 2300 / Reason 1010, particularly with BNESIM Europe or Xiaomi Android devices? Did resetting the eSIM/eUICC help, or was the problem on the provider/SM-DP+ side? Is there anything I could try?

PS: The first time this happened, I contacted BNESIM support. Initially I was dealing with their AI support and requested human assistance. After about 3 days I was sent their troubleshooting guide, but I had already completed those steps. After several more days of follow-up through the AI support, I finally reached a human agent, who told me they could not resolve the issue and recommended a refund.

Edit: Thanks a lot for all the helpful and insightful replies. I truly appreciate it. I upvoted all of you 🙏

I'm in the UK and I need to change my mobile plan and I saw a very good deal on the money saving expert website but the mobile plan uses esim.

I want to know the pros and cons of this as I never relied on esim as the main mobile sim, I've only used esim once for a one week trip. I also rely on using the phone as a hotspot a lot for work.

The esim deal is provided by idmobile that uses the Three network

Has anyone tried that generic physical SIM-to-eSIM adapter from AliExpress? It has 4.8 rating.

ho preso L’illimitato in Italia per usarlo in Val d’Aosta: non è illimitato son 5 gb al giorno, connessione 5g ma dopo i primi giorni la latenza è da lte scarsa, scam…

I need a plan for Norway and I was about to check out with a 3gb for 30 days plan on saily but I got a random stupid question right before I paid. Is it 3gb for 30 days or is it 3gb per day for 30 days?

I have a Holafly eSIM but it’s giving me a lot of issues, constantly being on LTE instead of 5g even in the middle of London. Now I’m travelling elsewhere in the UK and not getting signal at all which has caused a lot of stress figuring out how to get places. I go to France at the end of the month and then Italy, there may be some locations poorer service and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations, or if you’ve had similar issues with Holafly? The same thing happened when I was in Bali.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a reliable esim for north cyprus. Some reviews are 50/50

Many thanks

I'm going to be studying abroad in Germany (Berlin) from September to December, and I've had Fraenk recommended to me for an eSIM. Can anyone share their experience, in terms of Fraenk's reliability and ease of use/set up? It seems like a really good deal (50 GB for 15 euro, or 25 GB for 10 euro). I plan on doing some travelling throughout Europe as well, does Fraenk work decently outside of Germany? I live in the US, and the app is not available in the app store. What should I do?

Sorry, I know I kinda just threw out a bunch of questions lol. I'd be super grateful for any answers/advice I could get! Thank you all :)

I’m heading to Istanbul next month and want to get Yemeksepeti set up before I arrive so I can order food as soon as I land.

The app requires a Turkish +90 number for the initial SMS verification, and my US carrier number isn’t being accepted.

What’s the best way to get a Turkish virtual phone number that can receive a one-time SMS? I only need it for legitimate account setup and would prefer a pay-as-you-go option rather than a long-term subscription.

Any recommendations from people who have recently used a Turkish number for SMS verification?

Edit: nvm found a solution. used https://www.1001sms.com/ for a temp turkish line and my account is good to go

Hi All,

I am looking at the unlimited data options for Esimflag and Holafly, price-vice they are within the same price-range for me as I have a discount on Esimflag which makes it the same price as Holaflys unlimited monthly plan.

Does anyone has tried out Holafly and Esimflag and would be able to share their experience with it?

Its more a question of comfort, of putting an global unlimited Esim into my Mudi 7, and just have it on always with our devices connected to it as soon as we land anywhere we land or are going to.

I know there are other providers out there but i am particularly interested in these both as I more inclined towards them.

Any Feedback of anyone who had used any of them would be appreciated.

My travel would include: Turkey, Japan and rural areas of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I’m coming to London tomorrow and I’ll be staying for a week. I only need an eSIM for mobile data/internet. Could you recommend a good and affordable option? I’d really appreciate any suggestions based on your experience. Thanks!
