Our marks, criterion by criterion
Price per GB
4.0Prices in dollars, relatively low for small volumes: 1 GB for 7 days for $1.90 in Turkey and $2.90 in Japan, 10 GB for 30 days for $9.90 in Japan and $11.90 in France, 50 GB for $26.90. Unlimited is significantly more expensive: $8.90 for 7 days in France, $54.57 for 30 days in Japan.
Coverage
4.4197 countries in the esimrat catalog and 23 multi-country plans: Europe (up to 42 countries), Asia, Middle East, Africa (29 countries), Caribbean, Americas, and two global plans covering 119 and 126 countries. The site also sells city-specific plans (Tokyo, Paris, New York) at the same rates as the country plans.
App
2.5No apps to download: the eSIM arrives via email as a QR code to scan, and you can track your order from the website's customer area. No ID is required at the time of purchase.
Support
3.6Support announced 24/7 via live chat, WhatsApp, and email, with a dedicated address for refund requests.
Transparency
3.8Each plan details its local networks and their generation (KDDI and SoftBank in 5G in Japan), the data exit country (Hong Kong for Japan), data sharing, and speed reduction. The unlimited plan provides 1 GB per day at full speed, then 512 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s until the next day, as stated in the product description.
Flexibility
3.5Durations of 3 to 180 days (365 days on global plans), unlimited from 3 to 90 days, top-up possible on some plans. Refund within 14 days in the European Union if the eSIM has not been activated or used, and in the event of a network outage.
Technical note
An overview of eSIMGlobe's performance across 6 criteria
How we score
This score is eSIMrat's own, not an average of customer reviews. It covers six criteria we assess ourselves from the catalogue's real coverage, the prices we record, and test purchases and installs. We earn a commission on sales made through our links: it changes neither the score nor the order of our rankings, which stay sorted by price per GB.
The eSIMrat verdict
eSIMGlobe targets the traveler who wants a small, inexpensive plan and wants to know which network they will be on: data-volume plans start at $1.90 and each specifies its operators. On the other hand, eSIMGlobe has no app, sells only in dollars, and its unlimited plan is capped at 1 GB per day at full speed, making it expensive for long stays.
Good for
- Small plans for one week or one month (1 GB for $2.90 in Japan)
- Travelers who want to know the local network and the data roaming origin before purchasing
- Multi-country tours, with 23 multi-country plans including two global ones
Less suited if
- You want to pay in euros, without conversion (→ ChillSim)
- You want unlimited data without a daily speed cap
- You are looking for excellent value for money with an eSIM that is easy to install, an app that is easy to use, and 24/7 human support (→ voilà eSIM)

If something goes wrong

Frequently asked questions
For a week in Europe with typical use (GPS, messaging, social media), 5 GB is plenty. For streaming or tethering, aim for 10 GB. Our data usage calculator gives you the order of magnitude in thirty seconds.
It depends on the plan: most travel eSIMs allow tethering, some cap or exclude it. The plan page on eSIMGlobe's site states it, so read it before paying.
An eSIM works on most smartphones released after 2019: iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked. Our eSIM-compatible phones page lists the models.
Yes. Most recent smartphones handle a physical SIM (calls, texts, your number) and an eSIM from eSIMGlobe (mobile data) side by side. You keep your usual number and use the eSIM for the Internet.
Contact eSIMGlobe support with your order number. A plan that was never installed is usually refundable, an activated profile rarely is. The exact policy is in the provider's terms of sale.
A travel eSIM gives you ordinary Internet access. Any restrictions (China, Iran) come from the network of the country you visit, and the plan page says so when the provider documents them.
It depends on the provider: some top up the same profile from the app, others sell a new plan to install. At eSIMGlobe, the rule is on the plan page and in your account.
