Pros and cons
eSIM.net
Pros
- Unlimited data is offered, subject to the fair use policy for periodic travel, alongside hotspot sharing, high speed mobile data and instant activation.
- Regional plans reach 90 countries, and top-ups are available, so data can be added mid-trip.
- Plans run on established partner networks, O2, Vodafone and EE, and the service is an MVNO run by ESIM.NET GROUP LIMITED in the United Kingdom.
Cons
- Coverage of 90 countries is narrower than Zwitchy, which covers 200.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so there is no phone support.
- The fair use policy treats the eSIM as for periodic travel, so sustained use in permitted countries can lead to traffic shaping, throttling, further charges or disconnection.
Redteago
Pros
- Covers from 180 countries, well above the site median of 74
- Unlimited data, hotspot and instant activation all appear under unlimited data, hotspot and instant activation

Cons
- Unlimited data comes with a fair use policy, where abuse or abnormal data consumption can be restricted
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone or live chat line
