GigSky: Global eSim Data Plans

Awesome service if you don’t want to worry about data coverage in less popular destinations or while crossing borders. Great country coverage, simple but straightforward UI and (most importantly) very easy setup and reliable coverage. Worked like a charm in my last trip to Cyprus, even when crossing into Northern Cyprus. Now I never travel without a GigSky plan. Pricing is also very fair! FYI: Be careful about having Google Maps open as it may eat up a lot of your data passively.

I purchased the 7 day unlimited plan and my connection was throttled to the point where it was completely unusable for anything on day 3. Complete waste of money and there was no notes about throttling until I spoke with customer service. In the future I will stick to Nomad ESIMs since they are a much better company.

Downloaded eSIM but doesn’t work.

GigSky scams people letting them think they have purchased an unlimited data plan when in fact GigSky will significantly reduce your data speed or worse you may even be able to connect to the web. If I could, I would give it ZERO STAR. Shop around, you will be better off.

GigSky has worked exceedingly well in Central America, South America and India for me. 5 gb data plans typically will cover a full data use for a 2 week long trip. It is very easy to top up if you run out of data. And most of all, it is far cheaper than my US cellular data daily use plan.

I think I said it all in the title 😉 But really a very intuitive workflow and a money-saving application, compared to the international options of my current plan. Works great for my whole family! Highly recommend it.

Have used GigSky for several years now on trips to the UK and Europe. Always worked great (unlike another slightly cheaper provider). Pay attention to your phone settings and make sure apps aren’t using all your data allowance if you don’t want them to.

I connected in France, can’t connect in Italy

Can’t find network after I did pay!

Having used other eSIM plan providers, I felt that the experience of setting up the data connection once you land at your destination is the most easy. No more fiddling around to select specific local networks, set APNs etc. Everyone should definitely try them out.
