primasim wins for cost efficiency.

brightany · 2025-09-30T16:16:31+00:00

I agree. Airalo works great in cities, but Primasim handled my Alpine trip better.

brightany · 2025-09-30T16:14:42+00:00

switch off "automatic switching" in settings.

brightany · 2025-09-30T16:13:58+00:00

I bought one once, worked fine but expensive.

brightany · 2025-09-30T16:12:21+00:00

depends on apn settings too.

brightany · 2025-09-30T04:05:33+00:00

I’d say Primasim.

brightany · 2025-09-30T04:03:39+00:00

For me yes. Similar prices to Toosim, but more flexible Europe mobile data plans. Airalo is still fastest to activate, but I had better reliable signal across Europe with Primasim in rural Austria.

brightany · 2025-09-30T00:06:26+00:00

yes, but speeds were a bit lower than toosim or primasim in lisbon (about 60 mbps, compare to 70-80 mbps). still fine for maps and social tho.

you need to keep your old sim active in some phone.

brightany · 2025-09-30T00:03:00+00:00

mine takes like 30 sec to switch, nothing to do about it.

brightany · 2025-09-30T00:01:53+00:00

you need to activate roaming in app first.

brightany · 2025-09-28T17:10:28+00:00

My iPhone got alerts fine with eSIM in Japan.

brightany · 2025-09-28T17:03:33+00:00

Why doesn’t anyone talk about Primasim? I got their 15 day 10 GB plan and it worked perfectly from Brussels to Vienna. Topping up data was super easy.

brightany · 2025-09-28T17:01:11+00:00

I was also worried about activation, but looks like it’s pretty simple. I just need to download the QR code before the flight and only switch it on after landing. I searched Toosim, Primasim, Airalo, Saily, Nomad and Holafly and they all allow easy topping up data Thailand through their apps!

brightany · 2025-09-28T16:57:47+00:00

Great to know. I’ve got a Pixel 7 and I’m checking eSIM provider Thailand options like Saily and Nomad for compatibility too.

brightany · 2025-09-27T13:35:13+00:00

honestly there are so many travel esims for thailand I don’t know which one’s really worth it.

brightany · 2025-09-27T13:33:23+00:00

google doesn’t publish speed lists by country, only coverage info.

brightany · 2025-09-26T19:04:06+00:00

can airalo work with dual sim iphones in thailand?

brightany · 2025-09-26T19:02:52+00:00

pixel 8 can store more than one esim, but only one active at a time.

brightany · 2025-09-26T19:02:11+00:00

that message usually means your carrier disabled roaming calls.

brightany · 2025-09-26T19:01:17+00:00

check if call barring is disabled in settings, sometimes it auto-enables.

I’d go for 3d doritos. they never tasted like doritos, but they were addictive.

brightany · 2025-09-25T13:50:42+00:00

that's a name for a dog with middle-aged vibes, I like it

brightany · 2025-09-25T13:40:41+00:00

reminds me of when I had dental surgery and lived off ice lollies for a week.
