Has anyone ever used these before?

I discovered the banking app Revolut have forged a new partnership with 1GLOBAL that provides a worldwide SIM card. For someone who travels a lot, this is so useful.

Anyway - I gave it a shot and it’s worked seamlessly in both Doha and Dubai.

Normally when I arrive to a country for at least 7 days I get a SIM at the airport, which, whilst convenient… can be time consuming, tiring and mundane after a long-flight. Especially when you have to do it EVERY time

This changes all that! I wondered if anyone has had a similar experience with something like this?

Hoping it’s a useful tip for some of you also

That sounds awesome! I agree, getting a SIM at the airport can be a hassle. If you’re in the Philippines, you can check out TNT registration SIM.

I never heard of it, but I always use Esimx when I travel and it has always worked perfectly. I used it when I went to Mainland China, Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan and I never had a problem. And their customer service is very efficient and quick in answering (I had a minor issue and they helped me immediately).

Here’s the website link if you’re interested: https://esimx.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=21467435504&utm_content=167820082754&utm_term=esimx&gadid=705808583690&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAxKy5BhBbEiwAYiW--yyUGvyLLFLdLEkOLuRwBkgaK5MnZ_lP1l6OiiQzdjdO3UATqtrI5hoCMNcQAvD_BwE

Sharing something that might be helpful for you guys

I recently found out (the hard way, after purchasing an esim and it mysteriously not working at all) that some phones (in my case, a Samsung Galaxy S23) purchased in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan don’t support esims.

This was the first time I’d heard of there being a relationship between where a phone is purchased and its ability to support esims, previously I thought it was only dependant on the model.

Klook has a more comprehensive list if you guys want to check it out. It also shows how to check on different phone models if esims are supported or not: FAQ - What devices are compatible with eSIM?- Klook

Hope that helps!
