In this section, we'll share our experience with Ubigi eSIM - from the purchase to the customer service.

Ubigi Website Experience

The Ubigi website isn't providing the best experience. You cannot easily compare the plans, and you must go back to the list constantly to find the best option. However, it has improved in the past few months, so we hope to see more improvements in the future.

You need to pick your destination and select the type of plans you're interested in to see all the options available.

The Ubigi app can facilitate the process.

Buying An ESIM On Ubigi

Once you pick a plan, you'll need to finalize the purchase.

You'll have two options for payment:

  • Credit card
  • Paypal

Once the transaction is completed, you can install your plan right away. You'll get clear steps and guidelines to help you install your eSIM.

Connection

We got an excellent Internet speed as soon as the eSIM was installed.

Overall, it was a great experience.

Customer Service And Support

As part of our reviews and tests, we contacted the support to get help and got a reply after 5 hours.

This is quite slow compared to other eSIM providers.

However, you can get support in 8 languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Japanese and Portuguese).

Ubigi Honest Opinion

We've used in Thailand and it was a great experience.

Ubigi offers a great selection of plans, with excellent customer service and reasonable prices in multiple destinations.

We happily recommend Ubigi, especially if you're after a monthly or yearly subscription.

We hope they can improve their website in the future to provide a better user experience.
