Orange Travel: Prepaid eSIM

I purchased three separate plans for a recent European trip, and not a single one worked as advertised. This is not user error; this is a fundamentally broken network that leaves travelers stranded. Here is the breakdown of my experience across three countries: * Germany (30 Days, 20 GB): The speed was a joke—often under 2–3 Mbps. I couldn’t even send a single photo to my family without waiting for minutes! Worse, the data would completely vanish for 5-minute stretches in major cities in Germany. I lost navigation in the middle of the city center and again at the airport upon arrival. Without maps, I was completely lost. * Austria (1 GB, 7 Days): I used this solely for navigation for one day. The very next morning, I was cut off while at the central cemetery trying to call an Uber to the airport. I had to frantically search for open Wi-Fi to avoid missing my flight. This product nearly cost me a missed flight and a stranded situation in a foreign country. * Switzerland: Most of the time, the data simply did not work in the city. The city I was at in Switzerland has almost no open Wi-Fi, so I was forced to trace bus routes manually just to find a train station. The Conclusion: This product does not reduce travel stress; it creates it. For the price I paid (over €40), I received a service that is inferior to a €10 local SIM card. A warning to future buyers: Do not fall for the positive reviews. Given my 0/3 success rate across three different countries, I am convinced many of those reviews must be fake. Save your money. Buy a local SIM for €10 and get 20 GB of data that actually works across the EU. Do not make the mistake I did.

Worked great for my trip to several countries in Europe, easy to use, good prices, lots of usage and very helpful support, especially Olivia. I will be topping up to maintain my phone number, nice.
