10GB of date for Mozambique but only 3G!!!

I bought 10GB of data for Mozambique at what I thought was a great price compared to other sims. ONLY to be highly dissipointed that it only used 3G network and not 4G or 5G making it useless for using Whatsapp or navigation or mostly any apps.

we apologize for the slow speed. Sometimes, specific device settings or network selection can restrict data to 3G even when better coverage is available. Please email CS@globalesim.app so we can check if your settings can be optimized

The eSIM didn’t connect on arrival

The eSIM didn’t connect on arrival and no roaming data was available. Without data it wasn’t possible to contact customer support. On day 2 of the visit, data connection was established.

Hi David, we apologize for the inconvenience and the initial delay.
Often, devices require 'Data Roaming' to be enabled or a manual network selection to successfully register with local towers upon landing.

The eSIM installation was easy. The data sucked. Very slow and sluggish most times. I won’t use them again.

GlobaleSim for East Africa is a good option

I bought GlobaleSim specifically because it was one of the few that would work in Burundi. Unfortunately most of the time it did not. What was notable was that local citizens were using cell data when we could not. Perhaps it is the cell provider that GlobaleSim connected with? It worked better in Rwanda. It worked seamlessly in Uganda, keeping in mind that cell service is always spotty in the mountains.
I had no problems with installation by following the instructions. It is definitely best to install it before you arrive in a country where WiFi is unreliable.
I used a different provider in East Africa last year in Uganda and the coverage was worse.
Knowing the poor cell service and internet in East Africa I think GlobaleSim is a reasonable choice.

Really easy to use

Really easy to use. The network coverage was reliable and always available on good speeds.

Checking data balance was easy via the app.

You can determine the day you want your plan to be activated in advance, which avoids stress moment when arriving at your destination.

Overall, nothing to point.

The app is easy to use and the eSim easy to install.
However, I bought an eSim for Africa to be used in Burundi which is on the list of covered countries.
Since it didnt work I used the chat only to find out that Burundi no longer is covered.
You should keep your homepage more up to date.

AVOID - buy elsewhere

They don’t know their own product. Sold me an eSIM for Myanmar which I questioned since no other company eSIM works there. When I asked before I purchased I was told (likely by a bot) that if they were selling an eSIM, it would work there. Predictably, their eSIM does NOT work there and I had to rely on a physical SIM card. Will go back to Airalo, at least they are honest and don’t even offer a package for Myanmar. I recommend avoid buying here and find a company that knows what they are doing.
