Ratings and Reviews
Worked very well in Bahamas
We recently vacationed in a part of the Bahamas where local SIM cards are not readily available. I used this app to purchase a 15 day plan a couple of days before we left. I did not need to have the SIM card installed at the time I made the purchase. I installed the SIM card during the flight over and the service worked very well the whole time we were there. I was even able to use it for data while we were in the Miami airport on the way back before I had a chance to change the Sim card again. The app is not completely self-explanatory, but it was certainly usable. I’ll certainly be using it again.
It works, but why won’t you let people turn sale notifications off?
There are dozens of eSIM operators out there. If you’re using this app, it’s because you have a Visa card and are using a specific perk or discount, and/or because this app has unique cruise line and airline eSIM packages. Only the cruise ones make sense to be completely honest.
The app itself is pretty jank and ugly. The app that Mastercard sponsors (that I’ve used before) is so much nicer, but even outside of the credit card sponsorship game there’s so many nicer apps. This one seems to be coasting.
Which is why it’s so bothersome that there’s no functionality to turn off the incessant sale notifications. Get ready to get notified about eSIM fire sales every other day from this app, because they’re quite literally always having one. And there’s no way to turn those off, despite them notifying you about when your eSIM plan is about to expire, and presumably when you reach your data cap. In fact, there’s no settings tab in this app at all. Bonkers.
Works well but coverage varies
I have been using Gigsky service for several years and generally I would recommend it over buying a local SIM with a few caveats.
GigSky is preferred if:
- you travel to different countries
- your data usage is moderate
- you check coverage before buying a plan
- you do not use iPhone Wi-Fi hot spot
Not advised if:
- you travel mostly to the same country
- you need over 1GB per week
- you do want want to change SIMs
- you need to use multiple devices
How to check coverage: arrive to the country of your destination and insert GigSky SIM into your phone. Wait a few minutes, you may need to restart the phone or at least enable and then disable airplane mode. Observe the carrier and data signals. If you are happy with signal and data then purchase a plan - typically you do not need Wi-Fi to buy data in the app however you *must have credit card on file* already. Use your card payment - Apple and Google payments work only on Wi-Fi.
GigSky introduced LTE SIMs last year. If you have an old SIM it is worth upgrading.
iPhone disabled Hot Spot feature is my biggest disappointment with this service. GigSky support claims it is controlled by Apple but really GigSky need to take charge to fix this problem. You cannot use USB sharing either.
My results by destination:
- Playa De Carmen, Mexico: no coverage
- Sao Miguel, Portugal: excellent, LTE
- Venice/Bologna, Italy: excellent, LTE
