What they think about eSIM and SimOptions
I have been a loyal customer of Sim Options since 2018, first used their travel SIM cards for several different countries (Europe, Asia and U.S.). I have recently tried their new eSIM products, as a 62 years old I was quite unaware this kind of technology existed but I couldn’t be happier with the eSIMs. As someone who travel frequently, Esim makes it easier to get data abroad without the need to swap between SIM cards. Here are the different esims I have used from simoptions and my ratings for each of them: - Bouygues My European Esim: used it for France and the package has excellent coverage and data package was more than enough for my usage (rating 10/10) - 10Gb three Esim for USA: very affordable at only 25 bucks, network coverage was great in Washington but was sometimes low in countryside (rating 8/10) - Orange holiday Esim 30gb: used this one for Europe ( Spain , Italy and Greece ). The Esim is flawless in term of coverage , data speed and unlimited calls within Europe (rating 10/10)
Have year all workt fine with Simoptions. But on my last Order 1 Sim Card not Register and 2 Sim Cards running only 2 Days.
The phone app. To anyone who needs transportation The product is of good quality.
A bit trickier to activate than implied by the ad but doable. I could not get any connection at all when I was in Bar, Montenegro, but apart from that, this product did exactly what I needed it to for my recent family holiday in Europe. Good quality, reasonable price. You need to be a bit tech-savvy to set it up though.
THANKS
if you're travelling to the States, you've gotta get this eSIM from SimOptions. No sweat set up, killer coverage, and my Insta feed was lit with live updates. Never doing the travel thing without it again. Total life saver!
I purchased the travel esim for New zealand, for my 16 days trip, it was cheaper than expected and the esim signal was great even in remote areas
Excellent experience witth the Autria e sim. I had a trouble with my locked phone but the customer support helped me fix it and my esim worked just fine.
The pricing of this esim is great, it also covers both Ireland and Europe which is very rare to get if you buy a local sim card.
It is so easy to install and use. Wonderful experience works flawlessly. The best deal on the market.
Unexpected custom charge about 50% of original price. Totally unreasonable. We’ll see how it works now.
The e sim for Singapore is slightly cheaper than local sim cards at the airport and it is practical to use compared to sim cards.

Have not used it as we canceled our trip. Thank you.
I recently used this travel eSIM for the UK, and it was a game-changer! With unlimited data, I could effortlessly navigate bustling London streets, uncover hidden gems in picturesque villages, and stay connected with loved ones throughout my journey. This eSIM is a must-have for seamless connectivity in London and the UK
Good
It was such an easy use! All was good within the 5 minutes I arrived in France. Really recommended.
expensive
Its amazing , thanks for the service
I have used the Orange Holiday card before and love it. Wish they would offer a card with more than 14 days - like a 30GB for 30 days. Great service and delivery.
Excellent
I use the sim mainly to stay in touch with colleagues!
Good product
In contrary to many other reviews here I had a good experience with this company (seems odd to me that people just write reviews when they are angry?!). Ordered online and received products within 3 days in the US. Have not used the SIM Cards just yet, but service and communication was nice and clear.
Delivery was quick and received a product that was as described online. AT&T package was massive, could not use all of data. Recommend
It's been a good option for keeping my cell phone connected to an Internet service. The prices are reasonable. I bought a SIM to use in Canada. I hope to use others on my upcoming trips.
I recently used their Sim card and everything worked perfectly. Great customer service, easy set up and great connection! Will definitely use this company again for my next trip!
I ordered a sim card for my trip to Thailand. The ordering process was quick and easy to understand, delivered in time as promised. Sim was pre-activated and i could use it as soon as i arrived in the country. I am happy with my experience and will definitely order again for my next trip!
I had absolutely no problem with a very good recommend to choose the package from their customer support. Delivery faster than expected!! Will definitely order again for my next trip :)
Your sim make my trip complete!! I spend my holiday in Paris for 7 days. Good signal. So happy.............!!!!!
I bought 2 sim cards for USA and the signal was good. I could easily use google map and get to Grand Canyon then back to Las Vegas even in the remote areas where the signal was low. I will definitely order again from Simoptions
I ordered a sim card from Sim Options for my travel around Europe and it was grateful !! I had a wonderful experience with no fear about roaming cost. Large enough data to do all the same things as at home ! Thank you Sim Options
Bought for a week in China. Nothing to say, very good quality of service and reassuring service. I have already booked for my next trip to Mexico. I recommend
I am very satisfied, it works very well I recomend it a 100% !
It was a friend who told me about Sim Options for whenever I need to travel, whether personal or for work. Now I always use one when I travel and believe me, it changes your life, no more huge phone bills! I recommend it
Bought a sim card from orange with simoptions for a 15 trip to Europe. I am quite satisfied. Delivery was easy and nothing to say about the sim card. It worked well
Customer service was effective. They didn't have phone support, which they should have, but their email support was responsive. In my case, Sim Options' web order form omitted the name of my hotel in Asia, so UPS was unable to deliver. When I emailed Sim Options, they contacted UPS and provided me UPS' contact information. My order was delivered in a couple of days. Sim Options didn't provide the country code with the packaging but answered me by email within a few hours of my emailing to ask. The country code on my sim card was 66 (Thailand).
updating my previous comment..... finally I received the SIM...too late for the moment I wanted to use it, but SIMOPTIONS contacted me and they refound my payment. Due to my previous and good experience with company, I can assume this time was just an accident. I'll be willing to trust again my previous comment: Carefull people...I bought a SIM on dec 30....still not received yet...credit card charged....SIMOPTIONS phone just an answer machine...chat ...nobody there....mail nothing.....
Me and my husband got our sim card a month before our trip But obviously we only switch or sim cards the night before our trip to activate them it was so easy though. We were in italy for 2 weeks and we had access to internet and phone calls and i can tell having internet to use maps make a huge difference so i saw people struggling to find places like tours point meeting, hotels and restaurants while we were so relax in all our trip. Traveling to europe, I will buy it again for sure!!
Yes, it works. I am from USA. Order Holiday Orange card at least 2-3 weeks prior to departure. Orange requires you to register the card on their website with a PDF upload of your passport or there is a card to provide same info by mail to Orange in France. You can give your French phone number to family , hotels and others who you think may need to reach you. I inserted the nano SIM card ( has multiple punch out sizes) in an UNLOCKED - this is key, I Phone 5S. It will NOT work with a phone that is locked to a USA service contract like AT&T , Sprint , or Verizon. If you have an older I Phone 4s or higher out of contract you can get Verizon , ATT etc to unlock an old phone and turn it into your travel phone for future use. I use an I phone 7s in USA whichunder contract with them , I kept my out of contract IPhone 5S- and had ATT unlock it - by law they now have to give you an unlock code- if you ask for it. Otherwise you will need to puchase an UNLOCKED phone somewhere like on Amazon, EBay etc. You can get an older model IPhone for about $100 . I turned phone on when I touched down in Madrid Airport- your 2 weeks starts . Do not turn your phone on prior to departure in the USA! Got 3G , 4 bar, signal in Madrid, Seville, Cordoba, Toledo, and San Sebastián Spain. I also made phone calls within Spain as well. This was the best purchase of my trip as a solo , single , female traveler. Internet, Google Maps, Access to stored train tickets on Renfee, Airline Scaned Tickets was key for me. Just remember to keep a battery back up to recharge your phone because you will use it a lot to e mail and or send pictures home and to your friends.
Great service i have used this SIM in BELGIUM and FRANCE
great data service on the 12 gb simcards purchased in UK, France and Italy. our trip was 14 days long and more than enough.
It's one of the best investments we did for our Eurotrip honeymoon! We stayed connected throughout our trip. 4G internet everywhere even on the borders between different countries. It is a great tool to stay connected for international phone calls and internet!
The customer care always very fast respond .Once order the sim card i received within 3 days.We use it in London,Amsterdam & Paris as well. We can use it immediately once input the sim card. Very convenience but just thinking sometime the signal is not good when inside the metro compare with my friend the sim card they using (is from difference sim card company) But Overall i'm still giving the good rating. Thank you.
Customer service was super and resolved my phone sim problem very professionally. Excellent work and Thanks you.
The delivery is super fast and I could not change my item to a Global sim from europe sim on next day. Haven't used the sim yet. The (online chatting) agent didn't know the contact info for simoption , even I told them to check the Hong Kong office contact number, the agent only said "sorry".
Great and timely response to email questions.
2 x SIM cards with 10GB data, 2 hours of phone calls and 1000 SMS. Perfect for our trip. The catch - SIM card only valid for 2 weeks. Not the end of the world, but buried in the small print. An inconvenience to change phone numbers half way through the trip, but besides that, no major issues with the deal.
Excellent customer service and the Euro Sim card I had ordered arrived way ahead of schedule. They promptly credited my order in error without much hassle. This is professionalism to the highest order in the era of global online business transactions. Well done and thank you.
I would like to recommend Sim Options as I had a really great experience with them. I ordered the 12gb card for my trip across Europe and it worked perfectly. Signal was great everywhere and the customer service was perfect ( fast and detailed answer ). 5 stars out of 5 and again I recommend this company for everyone who is travelling.
I bought two Sim Cards recently and got them delivered for free to Bangkok. We traveled to Sydney and Melbourne for 10 days and the sims did a good job. Pros: - data package was big (9gb) - good signal in sydney and melbourne - free delivery Cons: - signal was a little weak in remote locations We will probably try the travel wifi from them next time... Good experience overall
Great experience using the 12gb (plus voice) card for my month long visit around Europe and Scandinavia. I tried to call home to Canada once, early in the trip and received a text advising I didn't have enough credits for it so I used Google instead. At this stage I hadn't made any SIM Options voice calls at all. The big ticket for me was the 12gb of data. I haven't a clue how much I used, it was always available. It took 6 weeks for them to get the card to me from the date of my order. SIM card delivery should be improved but otherwise, this is a good product.
I've purchased a SIM card for my trip around Europe. The SIM itself worked very well in all the countries I visited so I would definitely recommend their products. Moreover, I got the chance to meet the team behind the company when I made my order at their offices. Thier team was friendly and made sure everything was setup before I left. They also gave me some adresses and tips for my stay in Paris. I gladly give 5 stars to this company for all the assistance they have given me.
Superb service, I recommend SIM options . I bought a Europe SIM card, and it let me do the road trip of my dreams across Europe. Italy/Spain/UK, I was able to stay connected in every one of those destinations!
My 10gb SIM card allowed me to move around Europe with very good internet and I was even able to call and SMS my girlfriend back in Colombia for free ! Good product and aim received right on time ! Pretty cool
I've bought the package with 10 GB, 2 hours of calls + text in Europe. This was a great value for money. the internet speed was quite good all over Europe (I tried it in France, Spain, and Netherlands). Also with the 2 hours calls you can call from Europe to all over the world. This is very nice to make regular phone calls when you don't want to use skype or Whatsapp. The delivery was made very quick. I am very happy with the service
I purchased the 12Gb sim card prior to my trip to Europe from Simoptions, being a heavy data user I was looking for a massive data package without breaking the bank, and the 12gb data sim for less than 50 bucks was the best I could find. The package arrived to my home in the USA before my trip, once I landed in Paris the sim card worked without any activation and could fit in my iPhone 7. Very satisfied with this company and I recommend this sim to whoever needs internet in Europe.
