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
- Support: [email protected].
- Balance when blocked: not established.
- No voice calls — data only.
- Incoming SMS do not arrive: unusable for confirmation codes.
- Under the user agreement the counterparty is a sole trader, while the site footer and the App Store listing name Unisim LLC: the type of counterparty and the name on the shopfront do not match. Clause 2.5 of the agreement states that information on the site is not an offer, meaning published prices are not legally binding. Refunds run 14 days and only for technical incompatibility with the device; after a successful installation there is no refund.
- 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.
