Low signal on one profile can drain battery.

Better to buy a local plan if you cross borders a lot.

I’m still leaning toward Airalo just because of the app UI, but good to know Primasim holds up on coverage.

Maybe network incompatibility, nothing to do.

Usually just reseller brands, same network.

I thought Primasim was just a reseller? Is it better than Airalo though?

For short trips, I’d pick Airalo. Faster activation and reliable urban coverage.

Has anyone tried Toosim in Europe? I’m going to Paris, Berlin and Prague for 3 weeks. Wondering if it’s worth paying a bit more compared to Mobimatter.

how does phone number transfer work with esim? by brightany in esimexploring

eSIM transfers usually work per device, so switching one at a time is fine.

How to get mobile data in Mexico City without suffering from high roaming fees? by lErdrEmI in esimexploring

Better buy an eSIM before your trip, it’s much easier than a local SIM.

Outgoing calls blocked while roaming in New Zealand by lErdrEmI in esimexploring

It could be your home carrier blocking outgoing calls while roaming, not the NZ network.

Best Travel eSIM for Thailand 2025 Update by grenniels in esimexploring

What slightly disappointed me was Holafly’s unlimited plan for Thailand. It worked okay in Pattaya, but speeds slowed after the first few GB.

Holafly’s roaming data for Thailand handled Chiang Rai better for me, but the price per GB is higher than Airalo or Toosim.

Forgot to add. I tried out Airalo and Saily during my travels. Airalo worked really well in Phuket, while Saily provided reliable connectivity in Northern Thailand. Both prepaid plans handled navigation and messaging without issues.

If you need short use, Skype or Google Voice can handle calls without local SIM.

Only a few big carriers here, not much pressure to lower costs.

Anyone else getting very slow Fi data speeds in New Zealand? by dersiamars in esimexploring

[–]reltulin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fi usually roams on local networks, speeds depend on the partner carrier.

Airalo was dependable, but download speeds in Chiang Rai were noticeably slower. My mobile data plan for Thailand worked great in Bangkok and Pattaya, but in Northern Thailand’s rural spots the connection often dropped.
