eSIM.World — The only one that prints a per-gigabyte price on the storefront itself

The service operates from Russia; the legal entity is not disclosed. Payment from Russia works: Russian acquiring, via ID.WORLD INC outside Russia. Advertised coverage is 180 countries; how many of them actually have a plan is visible in the catalogue table.

What it is for

The vendor declares: travel abroad.

The vendor does not present this as a fallback channel for mobile-internet shutdowns in Russia. That does not mean it will fail — it means no promise is made, and you would have to verify it yourself.

What matters

  • Plans are fully disclosed — you see the price before buying.
  • Support: Telegram @esim_world_support_bot · site chat · [email protected].
  • Balance when blocked: the balance is forfeited.
  • No voice calls — data only.
  • Incoming SMS do not arrive: unusable for confirmation codes.
  • Liability is excluded entirely, with no ceiling. For refunds the offer refers you to an unnamed telecom operator. Unused traffic is forfeited. The QR code lives 89 days before activation. Two sources disagree on the post-threshold speed: support and the blog say 512 kbit/s, a third-party review from April 2026 says 384 kbit/s.
  • The figures above are vendor-stated; we have not re-checked them.

What it will cost

The price depends on the basket “country + gigabytes + days”, not on a per-gigabyte figure: on an unlimited plan a gigabyte costs zero, and such a plan would top the list while saying nothing about itself. Set your own basket in the eSIM table.
