Who is AbesteSIM ? A look at the eSIM provider
AbesteSIM is a travel eSIM provider whose main verifiable feature is the size of its catalogue : 6220 active plans spread across 73 countries. The principle is still that of a digital SIM : you download an eSIM profile via QR code and are connected on arrival, with no roaming fees.
This very large catalogue explains the diversity of plans : depending on the destination and duration, you choose a data volume suited to your usage. 4G/5G speeds depend on the local network used in each country, as with any travel eSIM.
The AbesteSIM catalogue covers short trips (small volumes over a few days) as well as longer stays. Fixed-volume plans suit controlled usage (browsing, maps, messaging, social media) : you simply estimate your consumption to pick the right data allowance.
Coverage is present on major tourist destinations : Europe, the United States, Japan, Thailand, Turkey, Mexico, plus many countries in Asia, Latin America and North Africa where the travel eSIM is a strong replacement for local SIM cards and classic carrier roaming.
Is AbesteSIM reliable ? There is still little hindsight : only 8 Trustpilot reviews are available, for an average rating of 3.6/5. This very small sample does not allow a firm conclusion about customer satisfaction : the rating should be taken with caution. The points to watch are those common to data eSIMs : speed depends on the local network of the country, plans are data only (no classic calls or SMS), and you should check your phone's iPhone / Android compatibility before buying.
AbesteSIM reviews : what do users say ?
Datadopt aggregates ratings from public review platforms. For AbesteSIM, only Trustpilot provides data so far, and the number of reviews remains very low : the rating should therefore be read with caution.
Factual strengths
- Very extensive catalogue : 6220 active plans
- Coverage spread across 73 countries, including flagship destinations
- Simple, fast purchase and QR code installation
- Plans filterable by destination, duration and price on Datadopt
Points to watch
- Very small review sample : only 8 Trustpilot reviews
- Average rating of 3.6/5 to be taken with caution given the lack of hindsight
- Data-only plans : no classic calls or SMS
- Speed varies with the local network of the country visited
Our take : AbesteSIM stands out first for the size of its catalogue (6220 active plans, 73 countries), a verifiable and useful data point for comparing destinations. On the reputation side, hindsight is limited : 8 Trustpilot reviews for a 3.6/5 rating are too small a sample to draw a conclusion. Before choosing, compare with the alternatives Airalo, Holafly or Nomad.
AbesteSIM coverage : where do the plans work ?
AbesteSIM offers eSIM plans across 73 countries. Here are popular covered destinations, with a direct link to the matching plans.
Popular covered destinations
⚠️ Countries with restrictions (China, etc.)
In countries that filter the web (China and its Great Firewall in particular), Google, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook may stay blocked even with an eSIM, because access goes through a local network. To keep your usual services, install a VPN (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Proton VPN) before departure. Always check your destination's availability in the plan list above.
