I have bought 3 of these cards for 3 separate European vacations. In each case the initial connection took some messing around with settings. I think this last time I had to select a specific network and then release it before it would connect. I tried so many things I can’t remember what actually solved the problem. This was frustrating but since I did not need connectivity immediately upon arrival it was okay. Once connected in each country, service was mostly reliable. I am on the fence about trying this again, thinking eSIM might be worth a try.

I put the SIM card in my iPhone SE on the flight to Stockholm. Turned the phone on arrival and the SIM card connected automatically to the Telia network in seconds. My phone worked very well used mostly for Google Maps tourist navigation in Stockholm, Helsinki and Tallinn. Also used for Internet and email over a 12 day period in three countries; always connecting to Telia. One caution: on the second day, I noticed unusual very large data usage of 1 GB. Thereafter, I simply put the phone in airplane mode when not using. Total data usage over 12 days was 3 GB. I will buy this product again. PS. One can monitor data consumption in the Settings. Cellular data usage. Reset cellular data statistics to 0 when changing the SIM card and then monitor as you use. Very simple.

I read so many reviews before purchasing this one. But it turned out to be so easy and fast for me. I had no problem install it when landed just need to restart your phone and wait a bit. I stayed in Belgium and The Netherlands for 12 days, traveling with no interruption. The data was stable and fast. I managed to only use less than 2.5g data.

This worked great for a trip to France in October. Was able to access data at all times I needed. Put SIM in upon arrival at airport in France, changed network as per instructions and all went smoothly for duration of trip.

I just used this card for 2 weeks in Italy, Spain, Gibraltar and France. Great value for money. Be aware it can not be used for regular phone calls, but calls can be done through WhatsApp, Viber, FaceTime etc. iMessages also works. It takes some time for the card to start to connect initially- about 30 min. So, better to have it inserted already before you landed in Europe-in this case it should be working by the time you ll be leaving airport. For the France - you have to read the instruction - and follow it - setting should be changed there and then changed back if you go to another European country - also takes time for the card to connect when you change the setting. I was worried about ordering Uber because there is no European phone number provided for the card - but it worked perfectly (by the way there are different names for the companies, but Uber application can be used for it)

Purchased the 5 GB dataroam- European Data SIM Card for C$21.47 (including taxes) in August 2023 for travel use in Switzerland. The card provided good service as noted in the Amazon description. My travels in Switzerland took me to the regions of Interlaken and Luzern where I was able to use my Iphone8 for internet access without any issues.Just before landing at Zurich’s Flughafen Airport, 1) I Confirmed in settings that the Cellular Data Option the “Data Roaming” was selected. 2) Powered down the phone and inserted the above mentioned 5GB SIM card and powered back the phone. 3) The card searched for a network and by the time I got my luggage i.e. in about 30 mins the phone was on the 4G network provided by Salt. From that moment on I had full access to the internet during my stay and travels within Switzerland, be it on the trains between cities or at places like Schynige Platte (elevation of 2,099m or 6886ft).In Interlaken the phone switched between the networks of Salt and Sunrise without any interruptions, while in Luzern and Zurich the phone was on Salt’s network. It should be noted that mine was an iPhone and I believe the card should work the same on an Android phone. The card is valid for 30 days from the time it first connects to the network.I primarily used the card to access my emails, check train schedules, Google searches and maps and use phone apps like WhatsApp for messaging and phone calls and weather apps to check the weather.On landing at Toronto Pearson, I noticed that the card was connected to Rogers network and the time on the phone was updated to local time and I was able to use the internet. Looks like the card is universal.The package that contains the card comes with instructions on it on how to setup the phone. Additionally the package also contains a QR code which will take you to a more detailed setup instructions that can be downloaded as a pdf and printed.Pros :Easy to setup, cheap, no activation fee,Cons:Can’t top up, no SMS messaging or phone calling capabilities, no way of knowing the balance on the card unless you contact the Tech Support.The Tech Support, when contacted via an email, promptly provided the balance on the card when card’s serial number was provided.

Worked well for a one week trip that included London, Paris, and Rome. Definitely would repurchase for future trip. Very handy for using gps on long walks in Europe.To get it to work, turn off airplane mode and connect to WiFi at airport when you arrive. After you put the SIM card in, just wait and it should sync up and start working on its own. For going in and out of France, you need to wait for it to connect again. Italy gave us the most trouble, but after waiting a few minutes, it started working on its own. Patience and don’t panic. We didn’t need to contact customer service.My husband put this in his iPhone, and I just used WiFi wherever available because it was unnecessary for us to have two phones with data.

Super frustrating!!! Got to Europe, inserted the SIM card as instructed, but NO SIGNAL. Tried the tech support website that was on the package - no help. Couldn’t call the tech support phone number on the package because my phone wouldn’t work without a SIM card. An Apple Store was next to our hotel. They couldn’t get it to work, and sent me to a tech support vendor (Fnac) several blocks away. They tried, and they could not get it to work. At this point I’d wasted almost 2 prime hours of my vacation. I needed a working SIM card, and this one clearly was a dud. I then went to a third place where I bought another SIM card (Vodaphone), popped it in and it worked immediately! Returning this one as soon as I am back in the USA. This SIM card didn’t work and I got ZERO customer support from dataroam (which is really some other company, cellhire).

The instruction coming with the card was not very clear. I had to contact the tech support after arriving at the hotel. The support response was fast and the setup was easy with the correct instruction. After that, it worked great in Italy. I wish it had worked right after the plane landing.

I bought two 10 gb and two 5 gm sim for 4 of us traveling in the family. Wanted to have kids a means of communication while traveling incase we get seperated. One of the 10 gb did not work at all in uk and france ( yes i changed the setting in france like it stated in instruction). Did not even detect any network in uk. I was using a factory unlocked Samsung S21 so no, it was not a device issue. The remaining 3 did pick up some signal after hours of trying but most times was NO signals or 3G speed. So basically useless anyway. I ended up buying a vodaphone sim from local supermarket. Not only I wasted the $100 buck but I incurred rogers roaming for day upon arrival because these sim did not work and I needed a working phone upon landing in uk so I can call uber, look up map etc until I was able to buy the local sim. Based on my experience, I don't recommend this product. You will be buying nightmare. You can buy product that works at a much cheaper price.BTW, I returned all 4 Sims after coming back to canada. Amazon only refunded 1 of the 4 sim. I guess I have to write off the other 4Update: after the review was posted, I got a note from cellhire management stating they are issuing refund for the remaining 3 sim cards I returned. Atleast I got the money back so appreciate that part.

Worked great in Portugal but when I arrived in France the other day I could no longer turn on hotspot, this is a big issue as we have two phones and a laptop. Data for the phone with the SIM does work properly.

Used in Berlin for an iphone, took me a while to figure out that I need to use wifi somewhere (say airport) to download a profile for it to function correctly. (Tried to switch between service providers, it showed signal strength but no internet access. After downloading the profile, the auto-selection worked nicely.)Decent coverage in Berlin and Potsdam. This is just for cellular data, no phone number. I thought this would be perfectly fine but it turned out many things require a number (for example, the VBB app). There are certainly ways to hack around it if you are willing to tolerate the inconvenience.
