Used this for 3 weeks while in Italy, Switzerland and Germany. It works, but not well. It would be reasonably fast first up in the morning but for only 20 minutes or so. Every time I wanted to use google maps I would be standing in a street for ages waiting for it to load. Forget about wanting to see restaurant reviews and photos as it would take forever. Using safari was the same, all on a new iPhone. You are far better off buying an actual SIM card than holafly. You can get by with it but seeing you need internet for just about everything with travel these days I would have preferred a large international roaming bill over the time wasted and frustration using this. Good video and others might have different experiences but it’s important people are aware of it’s issues.

I would like to thank you!! At first I was little bit suspicious about this whole "e-sim company". But I was in NY with my wife and Holafly e-sim worked perfectly well! Email received in minutes, activation also fast as hell and even your discount code worked as well :-) Internet was fast and stable during our whole trip. Thank you once more from Europe.

would have been nice to include data speedtests. "worked very well" is open to interpretation.
A digital nomad would need at least 50mbps down.

MANY THANKS...This beats buying a SIM card, installing, keeping track of your other SIM card, etc.

[KLAEYZ]

what settings do you need to change in your iphone to avoid being charged international fees with your provider?

Some prepaid brands already offer eSIM, and it’s cheaper than getting a Holafly eSIM.

Can't even hotspot with Holafly - crazy!

Interesting video. I can see that for YouTubers like you, the unlimited data makes this a great option. For many others though, it may not be worth it. I usually go through 2 GB per week, tops. On a 24 day trip like yours, I could pay $64 for Holafly, or I could pay $18 for a prepaid Three SIM card (as I do), and even that might not be the cheapest option.

How do you get back to your home network?

You get free roaming across the EU. So whatever country you first arrive in, go get a 30 day sim. You can then travel to another country & use your sim package without any additional charge. If you are still in Europe post 30 days, simply buy another local sim in your destination & repeat. All cheaper than an e-sim.

Do not buy if you are going somewhere that you may not be able to connect via wifi right away for assistance. They will not refund you your money.

Does this work for Asian countries? Like travelling to China, HK, Thailand, Taiwan, etc?

[yanooo]

This is just a ads commercial…. I don’t trust

[dianafromcanada]

Thank you for all the information and for the discount code!

[kcsnew]

I understand it is unlimited data plan. How about voice calling ? How did you manage to call local numbers in each of the countries as it is data only ?

[lauriesimpson]

So you need to have two phones to scan the QR code???

[epuliskandar]

Is it compatible from Malaysia user travelling to UK?

[kielwillizerbitanga]

is it sharable like i need to use my laptop i just need to open the phone hotspot?

[sharonbennett]

Can i install the e-sim and not activate it until i arrive
