  We used this mob for a trip through Italy and France last year. We found it worked very well. We had previously bought destination specific sims which were OK, but we always ended up buying more GB's than we needed.

  Couple of advantages of this style.
  1. You can try it before you leave (Australia is a covered country)
  2. You only pay for what you use. For the two eSims we got, we paid probably half what we would have spent with our previous suppliers (eg: Travelkon-liked Travelkon but this was a better fit for us going forward) once we used all the various promotions (PM me for our referral code if you like!) and we have stacks of credit left over for our next trip.
  3. They seem to have multiple carriers available in each country. Crossing borders, it just changed without any reset, and even within a country, it changed providers depending on signal quality.
  4. Some countries are a bit expensive (eg: Singapore) but it was handy to have access during transits (yes, there is usually free wifi, but sometimes it can be a bit fickle). Used up a couple of cents on the account for the couple of hours in each direction, but worth it for the convenience. Once again, you only end up paying for what you use.
  5. Recharge is easy via website or through app. Minimum recharge was USD5.
  6. Data only but you can do outgoing calls through their app. Effectively calls are made from the USA I believe. They did say at some time they will provide inbound number option but I don't think that is happening any time soon. I've found most accommodation providers are happy to use WhatsApp or equivalent.

  Overall, our experience was a very positive one.

  What's the advantage of RoamlessFix compared to RoamlessFlex?
  It seems that RoamlessFix is limited to 30 days and one country, while RoamlessFlex has no expiry and can be used globally, but both are $3.95 for 1GB.

  And where do you enter the code? When I select one of the offers it goes directly to the credit card payment page without any place to enter a code.

    The original service I commented on above, seems to have been renamed as Flex.

    When I looked at the Fix options (these are new - I looked at this for someone else a few weeks ago and that wasn't an option then), there didn't seem to be a lot of advantage over Flex. For the couple of countries I looked at, it was sometimes cheaper, but not always. It also seemed to depend on the amount of data you purchased, for my examination, I used 5GB for comparison. The big disadvantage is that you end up having to commit to a minimum amount of data over the 30 day period. You will need to look at it on a case by case, country or region basis. Personally, I would probably just use the Flex option even if it was slightly more expensive per GB, just because of the pay for what you use capability rather than pre-commit. Also, it seems the outgoing call option doesn't seem to be available of the Fix plans.

    I also note that Singapore seems to be cheaper now.

    Sorry, I don't know where the code goes in. I remember it being quite easy and obvious when I set it up our accounts six months ago, but maybe the process has changed with the addition of the Fix plans. Hope you find an answer.

    For ourselves, we will probably stay with the Flex option unless there is a compelling reason to change.

      This looks like a good option, but I am confused by the RoamFlex option…. Why is it that its valid globally, but then each country has different per GB prices.
      If you load 10GB worth on the Flex for the US, its valid globally, so why would you by more GB in another country?

        The Flex option is not restricted by country and you don't pre-commit to use any particular amount of data in any individual country. You put $x in your account and it just counts down as you use it. I think they count MB used, so relatively small increments, probably a cent or so at a time. On our trip for example, we loaded up about $USD40 on each of our accounts before leaving Aus. With different bonuses, this ended up as about $USD55 of credit. Before leaving we tested the eSims in each phone by activating the eSims and did some browsing/downloads. This used up a few cents at the Australian rate on our account. Turned the eSims off until we started our trip. We transited through Singapore and turned the eSims on while in the airport and used up a few more cents. Landed in Italy and were there for a few days - a GB or two was used and another $USD4 or so was deducted from the account as this was progressively used. Crossed into France for 10 days and used a few more GB with the relevant amount for that country deducted from the account. Back into Italy, and same deal, a few more GB deducted at the Italian cost. Left for Aus, transiting through Singapore again. Connected in Singapore and used up a few cents of credit again. I just had a look at my account and I have about $USD28 worth of credit left on my account to use on my next trip.

        I hope that helps explain how it works.

          @2plus2: Just had a look through the new app and it now gives you a breakdown of your usage by trip or country. Using the example trip above, my testing in Australia before I left used up exactly 1 cent from my account balance. We aren't heavy users, but a couple of days in Italy at the start of the trip used up 0.8GB with $USD1.92 deducted from the account.

  Does this eSIM work for receiving authentication codes like for signing up to Uber eats and so on?

    There's no number with this type of eSIM

      Understandable, seems to be for making calls only, ty

    Their website does say they are intending to have an inbound number option some time in the future. They do list a number of countries in their list. Exactly how this will work is anyone's guess. It isn't clear if this will be calls only, or texts as well. Also their current outbound calls are managed through their own app, so that might still be the intended method for the new scheme rather than using your phone's native services.

    As far as authentication codes go, we keep our Aussie sims in our phones and just turn them on when we need to get a code. Most providers seem to let you receive texts for free while roaming overseas. We just turn off data and any other services on that sim. Also, many of the banks allow you to get those codes through their own app instead of by text. For services like Microsoft, we have it set up to use an Authenticator app as an alternative to receiving texts. I've found Google Authenticator to be fairly easy to use.
