Not great for Egypt

The sim wasn't very successful in Egypt, I largely had to rely on the hotel's wifi, all in all, I wouldn't recommend.

Did not work. No refund??

Service did not work. Set up was done correctly and still did not receive any service. I asked customer service for assistance and they made me try a million different ways to get the service to work with no success. Then, after I had asked for a refund, I was told I cannot get one because I had already used a portion of the service. Mind you, I couldn’t possibly have used the service as it was not working. After many conversations and emails, I had yet to get a refund and I had to buy service from another company. If you want reliable service, buy from ‘Airalo’. Set up is easier and customer service is much better.

Excellent experience with Vodafone in…

Excellent experience with Vodafone in Greece! 🇬🇷

The network coverage was excellent, the internet was fast and stable, and everything worked perfectly throughout my stay. I used it for Viber calls, social media, and watching videos, and I had absolutely no problems.

Great service, reliable connection, and very easy to use. I highly recommend Vodafone to anyone visiting Greece!

Thank you for the excellent service. I will definitely use Vodafone again! 👏📱

Vodafone esims are great!!!

Vodafone esims are great because:
1. Installation and activation process is very easy :-)
2. They start working immediately after arrival to destination country and they work with no problems there.
3. Prices of them are very attractive in comparison with competitors.
4. Vodafone’s reliability is crucial in some countries (like Turkey), where other e-sim suppliers are temporarily switched off by government.

Good experience

In comparison with my home country mobile internet, it was a little bit slower, but I don't know if it is the default speed in Italy. Very good experience in general. Fast and easy to buy and install. Also the best price when I searched.
