We’ll never use Vodafone again!

Bought a Vodafone Europe travel eSim with lots of extra gb, and it has been awful/not functioning (i.e. no access to the internet) in Greece and not very good in Germany. One star, and we’ll never use Vodafone again! We used to use Vodafone regularly for trips to Greece and Spain, but never again!

The internet speed is not good

The internet speed is not good. I was without internet on several occasions. Apparently there is no priority for Internet travel plans in Europe.

Wrong APN

The APN that came setup with the eSim was wrong.
Was set to US.vodafone.com, had to change to live.vodafone.com. So I had no service until I figured out.

Bad coverage and very slow in Florence

Bad coverage in Florence, very slow and unreliable indoors.

Bought the Italy 10+10 and it's so slow like a dialup from the late 90s.

I would never chose Vodafone ever again.

Africa eSIM poor in Ghana

Bought one Africa eSIM to use in Kenya and Tanzania. This was ok-ish. I used also Africa sSIM a litlle later for Ghana. Very bad experience. Poor coverage in Central and western region. Had to switch airplane mode on and of to activate all the time. 80% of time was 'H+', rest 4G. Never reached 5G. Will look for other solution next time. Proces of buying and activating is smooth

Great eSim for all Europe

Great eSim for all Europe, including UK, Switzerland, Turquie, Greece. I traveled for 6 months in 17 countries and I had data all over with no interruption. I bought only data and that was enough. Installation was very easy, very well explained. Cost was much better that other carriers.

Worst experience ever. There were no connections at all, and everything was very slow. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Vodafone is the only choice!

I've never used an E-Sims before. I would recommend Vodafone Travel eSIM without a second thought. We visited four countries in Europe and didn't have any issues with service. Our calls were clear and apps worked without any issues.

It was ok

It was ok. It did not work on my Android, I felt it was a waste of money. It did work on my kids phones and they used their hot spot the entire time for me.
Not impressed.
