Gigago eSIM review
The short answer. Gigago sells prepaid travel eSIM plans in 180 countries, and its cheapest rate today is $0.38 per GB. Its median rate of $2.10 per GB is about 26% below the $2.83 median across every plan we track. On price it is a reasonable default, and the country page for your destination will still show you whether someone there beats it. It also sells plans marketed as unlimited, the most generous of them allowing 3 GB a day at full speed.
No editor chose this rating. It is computed from live catalogue data: value for money, country coverage, features and service reputation. It cannot be bought. See how it is calculated.
Have we checked these prices?
Not yet. Gigago's prices here come from their own feed, and we have not built a checker for their shop yet, so nothing on this page has been confirmed against what a buyer actually sees. We are adding shop checks provider by provider and this page will say so when it is done.
A feed is not a shop. Feeds can list products that are not on sale, describe them differently, or carry a stale price, so a price nobody has checked again is only a number we copied.
Who is Gigago?
Gigago is a Hong Kong travel eSIM seller covering more than 200 countries and regions, strongest across Asia. Its range runs from small daily allowances up to large monthly bundles, and a handful of plans include a real phone number. Plans are bought on the web and delivered by QR code, with no app and no account needed.
Read this before you buy from Gigago
Gigago has the strongest independent record of any seller we added this month: 4.7 from more than eight hundred Trustpilot reviews, and they answer every negative one. The catalogue is broad and the prices are keen in Asia in particular. The two things to hold in mind are that a plan cannot be topped up, and that most of their unlimited options do not say what the daily allowance is, which is why we do not list those.
- Their review record is the real thing. 4.7 from more than 800 reviews, a profile claimed since July 2024, reviews left unprompted rather than solicited, and a reply on every negative one we could see. Most sellers on this site have a fraction of that.
- We list none of their unlimited options. Only 18 of their 243 products state the daily allowance and the speed it drops to; the rest publish nothing, so there is no honest figure to put in a table. Where they do say it, it is 1GB a day at full speed and then 5 Mbps.
- You cannot top up. Their own plan pages say the top up option is not available, so if you run out you buy a second eSIM rather than extend the first.
- Some plans include a real phone number, which is unusual here, and those are marked separately in our tables rather than mixed in with the data only ones.
- Support hours are stated two ways on their own site. A banner promises WhatsApp 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while their contact page says Monday to Friday, 7am to 4pm Pacific. Assume the narrower one.
- Refunds are judged case by case rather than by a rule. They say they will give a fair refund based on unused value, up to the whole price, but nothing is owed if you bought the wrong country and already installed it.
- They are a Hong Kong company, GIGAGO Limited, with a published street address in Mong Kok. There is no company registration number on the site.
We list Gigago because its prices are real and its plans rank on the same maths as everyone else's. We publish what we could not verify so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
How Gigago works, in detail
Is there a Gigago discount code?
Not one we can vouch for right now. We only publish a Gigago promo code after testing it at Gigago's own checkout, and most codes on coupon sites are expired or never worked. If a working discount code appears it will be listed here, and it will never change where Gigago ranks in our tables.
Why Gigago scores 4.4 out of 5
No editor chose this number. It is computed from four measurable things, weighted 40% value, 30% coverage, 15% features, 15% service:
Value compares Gigago's median price per GB ($2.10) with the market median across every plan we track ($2.83). Coverage counts the 180 countries in its catalogue. Service reflects its independently collected Trustpilot score. The score updates automatically whenever prices change.
PROS
- The best independent review record of any provider we added this month, 4.7 from over 800
- They reply to their negative reviews rather than ignore them
- More than 200 destinations, with real strength across Asia
- A handful of plans include a real phone number, which few rivals here sell
- Single day plans exist, which suit very short trips
- No app and no account needed to buy
CONS
- No top ups at all, so running out means buying a second eSIM
- Most unlimited plans do not publish a daily allowance, so we cannot list them
- No company registration number published anywhere on the site
- Support hours are advertised two different ways on their own site
- Refunds are discretionary rather than governed by a clear rule
- 5G is advertised in general but never confirmed plan by plan
What real Gigago customers say
Most praised
- Support is repeatedly named as fast and genuinely helpful
- Works immediately on landing
- Good coverage across Vietnam and wider Asia
Most complained about
- Some buyers needed a support session before the eSIM worked
- No top up, so running out means buying again
Check before you buy
- Buy a size up if you are unsure, because there is no way to top up later
- If a plan is sold as unlimited, ask in writing what the daily allowance and the speed after it are, since most of their pages do not say
- Do not install the eSIM until you are certain of the country, because that is the one case where they refuse a refund outright
- Check the currency selector before paying, since the site offers several
