Used for 2-Week UK, Italy, France trip. Worked great!
Purchased for a two-week trip to Europe (London, Rome, and Paris) and it worked great - used with unlocked iPhone 7 - I got fast speeds (4G) and was able to use my data without frustration - I was able to use iMessage, facetime, apple maps, and snapchat with no issues - However, the signal did drop several times, but it always immediately returned. Note: When inserting it for the first time in Europe, it does take my phone around 3 minutes to activate. I was feeling a bit nervous when it was taking more than a minute or so, but be patient and it'll come up. Instructions: 1. Only works for unlocked phones 2. Insert SIM during flight and about to land or when you arrive 3. Change your APN settings (It comes with instructions) iPhone: Settings -> Mobile Data -> Mobile Data Options -> Mobile Data Network -> Enter "fast.m2m" under Mobile Data and leave Username/Password blank Additional Steps for iPhone if not receiving 4G/LTE speeds: Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Data Options -> Enable LTE -> Select "Data Only" Android: Settings -> More Networks -> Mobile Network (Verify Data Roaming in On) -> Access Point Names -> Select "+" to add a new network -> Network Name: dataroam, APN: fast.m2m, Username/Password blank I noticed the instructions for iPhone weren't exactly correct, but they were close enough to know what to do - Also some of these options do not appear until you insert the SIM. In addition, you need to have your device set to "Roam Enabled" 4. Wait for activation In addition, the data on the SIM will only last for 60 days and starts when the SIM first connects to a European network. Overall, it was absolutely worth the $40 vs spending the $140 I could've spent using Verzion's $10 travelpass. Definitely will be using this again.

Did not work!
This was given as a gift for any upcoming trip to the UK. When I arrived there and out in the SIM card, nothing happened. After various attempts by other more tech aware folks than me… still nothing. I ended up buying a data card there for 10 pounds at a local Tesco store through the company Three and had excellent coverage throughout the UK. By the time I arrived back to the US the window had expired to return the Amazon purchase so totally out of luck with the prepaid Dataroam SIM card. I hope this is useful to someone out there. I had to give it one star to leave a review… though it more like a -2 star, for not working and then not being able to return it.😞

Very useful, easy to use. Will absolutely buy again!
I absolutely loved this SIM card. My Gf decided to get an international plan thru her carrier and paid $10/day which came out to nearly $300. This saved me a ton of money! It worked great in 5 countries we visited. I mainly used it for Google Maps and a browser, and stayed away from looking at social media unless on WiFi. This is misty because I was on a 3 week trip and did not want to reach my data limit before the end of the trip. I used google maps almost all day every day, and also looked things up on google whenever I wanted, and hardly even used 2GB in 21 days! I was a bit skeptical about this product when reading some mixed reviews online. There are a few conditions that you must meet for the SIM card to work properly. 1. Have a carrier unlocked phone. If you aren’t sure if your phone is unlocked, contact your carrier. In some cases they will allow you to submit an unlock request. 2. Do not put the sim in your phone until you are in the air on your flight. This way the sim gets activated when you touch down in Europe. 3. I have an iPhone XS and AT&T. The instructions on the SIM card tell you to change the APN in your cellular settings. I was very confused at first, as there was no APN section in my cellular data settings. I discovered it’s because most American carriers do not allow APN configuration. SO: this option will automatically appear in your settings when you put the new SIM card in your device. You will then be able to adjust the APN.

Worked perfectly in Spain and Portugal
I purchased this card a full two months before I used it. I also purchased a used unlocked T-Mobile branded Samsung Note 4 phone on eBay specifically for this purpose (so I wouldn't have to muck around with my normal phone). Before take off, I put the phone in Airplane mode, inserted the SIM card, and set the APN as directed on the package instructions. When I landed in Bilbao Spain, I turned the phone on, turned off Airplane mode, and within a minute it connected. I traveled by bus for 17 days throughout northern Spain then down to Porto, Portugal and it had a connection 95% of the time (we traveled to some remote areas where there were no cell towers). Most of the time, it showed a 4G LTE connection. Occasionally, it showed "E", but still worked. I used "What's App", Viber, Facebook, email, and a few other apps, and all worked like a charm. I also recommend it to a travel mate who used it in her Verizon Branded iPhone. Hers worked like mine did. The ONLY reason I did not give it 5 starts because there is no way to determine how much data is left (besides connecting support). However, 8 Gigs was more than enough data for 17 days of daily use.

Wrong APN information provided on packing
On the package information the APN is provided as Mobiledata. I attempted to connect for two days while traveling on a cruise ship in southern Europe and after multiple attempts using the guest services phone on board (without that ability, I would have never been able to get help) I finally got someone in tech support ), I think the primary issue for lack of support when I called was timezones changes. The APN is wrong the tech support informed me that it should be "fast.m2m". Once I got close to land my access is now working thanks GOD. It's been a bit of a nightmare trying to get this esim working and to get support. I'm not likely to use this again. I only purchased this card because of the ease of access as described. I have activated travel sims in different countries and never had the wrong information provided before. ***Update**" The representative was kind enough to refund my purchase cause of the conflict on the package, having the wrong APN information making it not functioning for a good portion of my trip. Hopefully they will fix the packaging going forward.

Worked well on my unlocked Verizon Wireless iphone.
Awesome Product! I'll never go abroad without taking one of this SIMcards. Ordered & used this product for the first time March 2019. Things you may wonder about as you are trying to decide if you want to take a chance and purchase this product. 1. Successfully used this product on unlocked Verizon phones. I chatted with Verizon and had them unlock two of my phones prior to ordering the card. Your phones have to be completely paid for and be out of a contract for them to be unlocked. I attempted to have my At&t phones unlocked so I wouldn't have to carry multiple phones.. At&t refused. However if they had better international options I wouldn't have discovered this great option! 2. Phones successfully tested and used were an Apple iphone 7 & a Samsung Edge. 3. Used this product in Barcelona, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal. 4. You have to follow the instructions on how and where to update the cellular data field. The service will not work without doing this. 5. If your Simcard is like the one I ordered it will be registered in the Netherlands. This confused my bank when I needed to check the balance on my prepaid Mastercard. Since the Sim was registered in the Netherlands they thought it was fraud and locked down my internet banking sign in. 6. I input the Sim in my phone 1 week prior to leaving for Spain. 7. Upon landing at the airport it took a couple of minutes for my phone to pickup the signal in Spain. Hope this helps someone else! Thanks for a great product!

Cheaper and better SIM cards abroad
Bought this for my trip to Spain, when I got there I went into a phone store, they had the same SIM card for a third of the price with double the minutes. This card only works for data, no calls and I had to have someone set it up for me because the instructions given on the card are not even close to what’s needed to make it work.

Trip now over, it was great!
I bought this because of the 60 days available for my bifurcated trip to Europe. Wanted the data SIM because I rented a car and needed help navigating from Google/Waze. Worked like a charm with my phone telling me which exits to take on the (scary) roundabouts (first time driving on the "wrong" side of the road!). Never lost data the whole time I was there navigating everywhere. I never used it to watch movies or anything that sucked down data, just maps and WhatsApp text and calls, so in three weeks I had only used 500 MB of the 8 GB available. For vacation part two I went back to Denmark/Norway and it continued to work like a charm all the way to the very top of Norway. I highly recommend getting this card if you are on a cruise ship or river cruise that will spend a lot of time near land (like in the Norwegian fjords) because you can have high speed internet access without the outrageous fees the cruise ships charge. The only small quirk is that you have to email "Cellhire" through their support page to find out how much data you have used as they are apparently not set up to check your balance online for this type of SIM. I inquired three times, once in Europe, once back in the USA and the last time back in Europe, and the replies were very prompt so no problem there.

Simple and Easy and immediately have service when needed.
We used this card in 6 countries in Eastern Europe. When we got to the first country. We popped the card in the phone . Followed the simple instructions and it worked amazing well. Highly recommend this product. We used it the 28 days we were away. Used only 2 gigs and we used it a lot especially google maps. The only thing I would do next time is make sure I had texting and calling. This was only a data card.

Excelente el servicio.
Fue muy fácil usar la SIM, simplemente hay que ingresar, seguir los pasos para dar de alta la red y listo. Es importante que el equipo celular esté desbloqueado para su uso con una SIM distinta a la original, ya en caso de no ser así, no podrá utilizarse el servicio.

No compren este producto.
No sirve en algunos países de Europa, no permite compartir internet con otros dispositivos propios, es lento y no tiene número con el cual se puedan validar sitios y compras. Muy caro para lo que sirve. Tuve que comprar una sim card de Vodafonpara tener el servicio.
