Great sim card that worked well almost everywhere I visitied in Switzerland and Italy. I used the sim card for a 2 week trip including locations in: munich, Zurich, les diablerets, interlaken area (murren, gimmelwald, grindelwald, etc.), milan, venice, florence, cinque terre, rome, naples, and palermo. Almost everywhere had constant 4G besides when going in tunnels in trains and some spotty service in cique terre areas. There was even 5G in switzerland. I used about 8 Gbs for 2 weeks with constant usage (emails, games, google, maps, apps) but no streaming videos. Easy set up - just put it in and make sure data roaming is on and your phone is unlocked. I tended to restart my phone whenever I entered a new country which I've been told can help signal quality. You get a phone number and can call/send and recieve texts which was useful for booking restuarant reservations. Great value and probably good for a 3 week trip anywhere it works in EU.

Do not buy. Buy an eSIM directly from orange or probably a more reputable carrier. The SIM card has not worked for data throughout my trip and orange customer service is nonexistent. Phone works fine but if you need any apps like maps or airline or car or any other travel, forget about it.

I purchased the 100GB 28 day SIM a few months before my three week trip (which meant that the little SIM poker was shaped like the Eiffel Tower. Cool.).Coverage worked great in Northern Sardinia, the Milan area, and Frankfort, switching from network to network as needed. My coverage for talk, text, and data were nearly flawless. Internet rarely lagged.Following the directions—follow the directions one by one. Really—I exchanged SIMs when I got to my final destination: Northern Sardinia. I got excited and did not do the last step, and going back through the perfectly clear directions, found my mistake.Sardinia is a difficult place to rely on a single provider, and WiFi can be sketchy. Internet gigs provided by TIM are incredibly expensive. I had no difficulty anywhere I used this card, and it allowed me to stay off public WiFi that is so vulnerable to hackers.I used everything constantly: local phone calls and few back to the US; FaceTime locally and to the US and France; search, maps, travel apps, Libby library app, and as a personal hotspot for my laptop and for others. All worked well, with one exception—in a tunnel.I did not stream a whole lot, and after three solid weeks, 34 GB remain.While I could have purchased fewer GB, this was the best $64 I’ve spent in my years of travel primarily to mainland Italy and Sardinia. I could rely on staying connected and up to date.Downside: occasionally my searches turned up in French or Italian. That was it.

My husband and I went to our Xfinity store to ask about phone plans for traveling in Europe. We were told it would be $10 per day, per phone. We were going to be gone 15 days, so that would be $300! Lucky for us, a different employee was at the counter and told us about this Orange sim card. We bought it, followed the instructions, and were well pleased with the utility, efficiency and cost. We'll buy it again for our next trip. An excellent solution to travel costs.

I used this SIM card on a 12 day trip to southern Spain and Ireland. Here are some comments.About the service:- For reference, my phone is Android type.- Had very good service in the areas we were visiting. No complaints on service coverage.- Texting and phone calls worked seamlessly. I could not however, send photos or attachments via text.- I would suggest using a message service like WhatsApp to communicate with friends and family. Then you can send photos and talk as much as you want with the only limitation being your data limit. And of course, anything done on wifi won't count against your data.- 12G of data was plenty for a 2 week trip. I only used about 6G of data under moderately heavy use.About getting started:- The provided instructions are a bit confusing. I learned more from reading Amazon reviews.- Your phone MUST be the unlocked type to use this SIM service. Most major carriers lock your phone. Just another reason to get rid of your major carrier and buy your own unlocked phone.- Do not swap your SIM card until you get to Europe. Once you get to Europe, make sure your phone is turned off. Then swap your current SIM card with the new SIM card. You'll need to bring a pin to eject the old SIM (pin not provided with kit). Do the swap in a safe place, be very careful not to drop either SIM card. They are TINY!- Save your old SIM card in the pouch provided and do not lose it. You'll need to put it back in when you get home.- Turn phone back on. Once it's booted back up, go to settings > mobile network and turn mobile roaming on. In a minute or so you should have mobile service.- Under settings > mobile network you can select "data usage" anytime to check how much data you have used so far on your SIM card.- Orange will send you texts warning that you need to register. You can ignore this unless you plan on using the service for more than 14 days. I can't speak to the registration process because I did not do it.Overall, this SIM card worked great for me, I would definitely use it again next time I travel.

Very refreshing to purchase SIM cards for our trip that arrive in a package with a description that matches what I saw on the Amazon advertisement! I used this same vendor last year and purchased the Orange brand for that European vacation as well. It worked better than advertised, so I trust this item will do the same. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Great for travel in Europe, sufficient data capacity and texting. Just remember that IT WILL ONLY WORK IN UNLOCKED cell phones! Same as all travel SIMS.
