Travel eSIM review

4.0

The short answer. Travel eSIM sells prepaid travel eSIM plans in 203 countries, and its cheapest rate today is $0.38 per GB. Its median rate of $2.21 per GB is about 22% 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.

Have we checked these prices?

83% of Travel eSIM's plans on this site were checked against Travel eSIM's own shop on 16 October 2026, one country page at a time. We confirm the product is on sale and that the price is the one they charge, and we take their price over ours whenever the two disagree.

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.

Travel eSIM did not pay for this review or this rating. The rating is computed from live catalogue data and cannot be bought. If you buy through a link on this page we may earn a commission, and the price you pay stays exactly the same.

Watchdog notice

Read this before you buy from Travel eSIM

Travel eSIM is one of the few sellers on this site that says plainly who it is: a named Swiss company with a registration number and a town. The thing to know before comparing is the currency. Everything they publish, feed and product pages alike, is priced in Swiss francs, so the dollar figures in our tables are converted at the day's rate and their own checkout total in dollars can land a few cents either side.

  • Their prices are Swiss francs. Their site offers a switcher for euros, pounds, Australian dollars and US dollars, but every page and their whole catalogue feed publish the franc figure, so ours is a conversion at the daily rate rather than a price read from their till.
  • They publish a real identity, which is rarer than it should be: ConnectLingua Sarl, registration CHE-335.842.969, in Bulle, Switzerland, trading since 2017. Most sellers we list name no company at all.
  • Their refund terms cover an eSIM you have not activated, but say a nominal processing fee may apply without ever saying what it is. An activated eSIM goes through troubleshooting before a refund is considered.
  • Their catalogue is all fixed size plans. There is no unlimited plan anywhere in it, so nothing here needs a fair use footnote.
  • They publish nothing about hotspot use, 5G or identity checks, on the plans or in their FAQ, so our table leaves those blank rather than guessing.
  • Independent feedback is very thin: 4.3 on Trustpilot from 9 reviews. Treat that as almost no signal either way.
  • They asked us to read their catalogue once a day because that is how often they reprice, and our nightly run does exactly that.

We list Travel eSIM 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.

Technical details

How Travel eSIM works, in detail

Activation
Buy on the site or in their app and the eSIM is delivered to your account. They publish setup guides for Android and Apple separately.
Plan type
Data only. Their own FAQ says data plans of this kind normally carry no calls or texts and points you at messaging apps instead.
Validity clock
The plan runs for its stated number of days. They do not publish whether the clock starts at purchase or at first connection.
Hotspot sharing
Not stated. Neither their plans nor their FAQ mention hotspot or tethering, so we make no claim either way.
5G access
Not stated per plan. Their catalogue names the local networks and the generations those networks run, but does not say what a given plan gets.
Top ups
Yes. They publish a top up guide for eSIMs bought through the app.
ID checks (KYC)
Not stated anywhere on the site or in their terms.
Apps
Android and iOS apps, with their own support pages for buying, reinstalling and topping up an eSIM.
Payments
Card through their WooCommerce checkout, with sign in by Google or Apple offered. Prices are charged in Swiss francs unless you switch the currency yourself.
Refunds
Published policy. An eSIM you have not activated or downloaded may qualify for a refund, with what they call a nominal processing fee that is never quantified. An activated or downloaded eSIM goes through a troubleshooting process first, and a refund follows only if that fails to fix it. Requests go through their contact form.
Support
A contact form and email, plus setup and FAQ pages for Android, Apple, reinstalling and topping up. No phone number and no live chat is published, and no response time is promised.
Coupons

Is there a Travel eSIM discount code?

Not one we can vouch for right now. We only publish a Travel eSIM promo code after testing it at Travel eSIM'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 Travel eSIM ranks in our tables.

Why Travel eSIM scores 4.0 out of 5

PROS

  • A named Swiss company with a registration number and address, which most sellers here do not publish
  • Close to 200 countries covered, with regional and global bundles as well as single countries
  • Every plan is a plain fixed size bundle, so there is no unlimited small print to read
  • A published refund route for an eSIM you have not activated
  • Their own apps handle reinstalling and topping up

CONS

  • Priced in Swiss francs, so our dollar figures are converted and their checkout total can differ slightly
  • The refund processing fee is never quantified
  • Hotspot, 5G and identity checks are not stated anywhere, so you buy without knowing
  • Nine Trustpilot reviews is close to no independent evidence
  • No phone, no chat and no promised response time
Reputation check

What real Travel eSIM customers say

4.3 / 5 Trustpilot, 9 reviews. Collected independently of us, checked Oct 2026. Too few reviews to influence our rating.

Most praised

  • Setup went smoothly

Most complained about

  • Nine reviews is too few to show a pattern

Check before you buy

  • Check the franc price at their checkout against the dollar figure here, because the conversion moves daily
  • Ask what the processing fee is before counting on a refund, and ask before you install the eSIM rather than after
  • If hotspot matters to your trip, ask them first, because they publish nothing about it
  • Switch their currency selector yourself if you would rather see the price in your own money

How much does a Travel eSIM cost?

Travel eSIM plans run from $2.09 to $472.34. Ranked by real price per GB the best rate is 40 GB for 15 Days at $15.18, which is $0.38 per GB. Across the whole catalogue the median is $2.21 per GB against a market median of $2.83, so a typical Travel eSIM plan is cheaper than the market.

Does Travel eSIM have a discount code?

Not one we can vouch for. We only publish Travel eSIM promo codes that we have tested at its checkout, and there is no working code right now. Most codes on coupon sites are expired, so check the total on the payment page before you count on a discount.

Can I use a Travel eSIM as a hotspot?

Not stated. Neither their plans nor their FAQ mention hotspot or tethering, so we make no claim either way.

Does Travel eSIM sell unlimited data plans?

No. Every Travel eSIM plan has a fixed data allowance, which is why every one of them can be ranked by an honest price per GB.

How do I install a Travel eSIM?

Buy on the site or in their app and the eSIM is delivered to your account. They publish setup guides for Android and Apple separately. Buy the plan online, scan the QR code on wifi before you fly, and leave the new line switched off until you land. Then turn on data roaming for the Travel eSIM line and give it a minute to attach to a network. If the code will not install, our guide to eSIM QR code errors covers every message a phone can show.
