Let me start by saying, if you're planning a trip across Europe, staying connected is a must. This SIM card promises seamless connectivity across 72 countries with 6GB in Europe and 10GB in the UK. But does it deliver? Here's my take.
The Good: First off, activation was a breeze. I followed the instructions, activated it online two days before my trip, and voila – it worked the moment I landed in Lisbon. The data was more than enough for Google Maps, Instagram, and even some light Netflix binging. The fact that it fits most unlocked phones is a huge plus.
The Not-So-Good: While the coverage was generally solid (Portugal, Spain, Germany were great), I did experience some hiccups in Barcelona where the data would drop for a few minutes. Also, calling wasn’t as reliable as I’d hoped – one call went through but wasn’t picked up, another just didn’t connect at all.
Hotspot Surprise: Despite the warning not to use hotspot in Europe, I tried it out of curiosity and it worked flawlessly for two devices. Maybe I got lucky?
Final Verdict: For the price and convenience, this SIM card is a solid choice if you’re mostly relying on data. Just don’t expect perfection with calls and be prepared for occasional signal drops in certain areas.
