My Truphone: eSIM travel data

Data plan is okay, not great. We traveled to major cities along Lac Leman. The plan worked pretty well in Geneva but there were a few dead spots in Lausanne on Montreux even though we stayed in busy/populated areas. The data plan was basically unusable (not enough data or no service at all) in Vevey and Lavaux/Espess outside of Lausanne. The app seemed to really struggle with cell tower changes. I installed the eSIM before my trip and then turned the cellular plan “on” when my plane landed in Geneva airport. The service did not actually begin to work for probably 20-25 minutes which caused me a lot of anxiety. The service also went out many more times while we traveling place to place and I couldn’t tell if there was truly no service or if the app was just lagging. Either way, I would not recommend if you are traveling to Switzerland and going outside Geneva.

I moved to Germany from the states recently and could not find a prepaid "top-up" e-sim plan as I had planned. This company creates a perfect for solution for those of us who have primary cell providers (Sprint for me) who have not yet embraced e-sim services. Install was immediate, service has been flawless. I love the pricing and I love that I can still message friends without having to use my apple ID. This app even tells you how much data you've used and how much you have remaining. A+ don't believe the low rating, most the reviews are from November / December 2018 when the app first came out and the technology hadn't been refined.

For a first release, days after 12.1 availability on a new iPhone I believe they did well. Some items I found: - can only connect via 3G in DC and CA area - activation took a few hours after signing up - signal strength inside was weak - when active and outside it worked well at 3G speeds I do have a wishlist that I do want to share: - ability to get info and sign up for other regions without being there. If I'm traveling somewhere I want the device ready upon landing. Today I need to either pay roaming from my main provider or wait till Wi-Fi until I can sign up outside the US - ability to get sms and voice but after up and getting LTE data support I don't know if it's possible to sign up for multiple locations at a time if I'm traveling between countries?
