Beware of being scammed by Travelkon

Beware of being scammed by Travelkon. Paid extra for an eSIM advertised with 5G speeds. Unfortunately the speeds were so slow, less than 1mbps so essentially unusable. Contacted support and they asked me to follow numerous troubleshooting steps which I’d already done multiple times. They blamed network congestion despite my second phone on the same network having speeds up to 70mbps. They offered to “upgrade” to a new eSIM on the last day of my trip. New eSIM had much faster speeds for first few minutes but again became extremely slow. Travelkon refused to accept they issued a faulty product in the first place. They should not be issuing products on congested networks. The fact that they offered an upgrade means they knew the original eSIM would have slower speeds. The product provided clearly did not have the advertised speeds. I would’ve accepted even a partial refund for being issued a faulty product but they insisted there was no fault from their end. If they can provide a new eSIM with much faster speeds they could have done so from the beginning. I suspect they cut costs by knowingly providing customers with eSIMs on congested networks and only offering to “upgrade” to the actual advertised product once they are contacted by customers.

Update: Support finally suggested that a disabled VPN profile may be the culprit as they’d seen “countless” cases of this exact issue. Disappointing that support wasn’t able to figure this out earlier if they truly have seen countless cases. Highly frustrating as their installation and troubleshooting guides do not specify that even when VPN is disabled, it may still affect speeds.

Hi Julianne we have established that the slow internet speed was actually due to your VPN profile installed on your phone that interferes with the eSIM data connection, once this was removed the speed was restored.

Whilst we acknowledged we stated that the "slow speed" may be due to network congestion, after further troubleshooting, we have identified (which you agreed) that the VPN profile was the culprit.

We do appreciate if you could kindly update this review as it does not reflect our product.

Thank you for your understanding.

Absolutely Hassle Free!

Didn't have any issues over a 2 week overseas holiday. Never went without service and didn't have to physically do or change anything.
The welcome messages for each country you land in is a nice touch.
Will be using it again in the future.

Data connection made easy.

We have enjoyed travelling through a lot of countries and have had no issues with data connectivity. Travelkon
has made it simple for us to travel with ease and always have phone data. The information was easy to follow and the prices were better than other companies.

A great esim

A great esim - it worked for me through Europe and Turkey (a lot don't cover both areas) I didn't run out of data (which I have in the past) and when I was having issues setting it up the customer service was amazing and I had help immediately to trouble shoot what needed to be done and I was up and running asap. Definitely will use TravelKon on my next trip. Thank you so much.

Used it in China

Used it in China, often didn't get any connection at all, end up need to turned off and on the mobile all the times, even with that method sometimes didn't work. To contact travelkon even harder as internet in china not allowed us to use Google, what's up and other foreign apps. It's took me more than 3 hours to communicate with travelkon help centre using my friends mobile to try to fix and ended up still not work properly.

Hi Fenny,

We're very sorry to hear about your experience. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.

We can see from our support records that you contacted us on 18 June while your eSIM was showing emergency calls status. Our team worked with you through several troubleshooting steps, including checking your device settings, manually selecting the network, sharing replacement eSIM, and lastly delete and reinstall the original eSIM. On 19 Jul, we checked the usage increases which indicates the connection was restored. From our system logs, we can also see that data usage continued every day after the troubleshooting and last usage recorded was on 22 Jun.

We appreciate your feedback and cooperation in troubleshooting process. We sincerely apologise again for the inconvenience you experienced. While this type of issue is rare, your feedback has been forwarded to the technical team for a thorough investigation so we can identify the cause and minimise the likelihood of it happening again.

Recommended travel esim!

It was so good that I only needed to buy 1 esim for travelling to both Philippines and Japan in one trip for both my husband and I. I did not need to switch to another esim.
First day my esim was not working, it was solved by having a quick chat with them and it was solved in minutes for both Esims. Definitely recommended for family and friends and would use again for my next travel
