Quibity

What Quibity offers

Quibity is an eSIM service run by eSIM.sm, selling data-only connectivity for travelers who want to avoid international roaming charges from their home carrier. The site positions itself as a straightforward alternative to roaming, with no physical SIM cards, no subscriptions, and no hidden renewal fees that kick in later. Installation happens entirely online through the Quibity app or via QR code, and you activate the eSIM only when you arrive at your destination. The service keeps your existing phone number intact so WhatsApp, Telegram, and other apps tied to your number continue working without interruption. Quibity operates in multiple languages (English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Polish) and accepts payment in euros, US dollars, British pounds, Brazilian real, and Canadian dollars, indicating a focus on travelers from many countries. The brand emphasizes simplicity: no lengthy contracts, no waiting periods, and no requirement to visit a physical store or carrier shop. You manage everything through the Quibity app after purchase, from checking your balance to purchasing additional data top-ups. The Quibity brand rates 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot with over 10,800 reviews, suggesting reliable service and customer satisfaction among its user base.

What you are buying

Quibity sells two types of plans: fixed data packages and an Unlimited Data option. Country-specific packages start as low as €2.50 for Turkey and go up to €9.40 for the Caribbean region. Other regional pricing includes Italy from €4.20, Egypt from €3.80, the United States from €4.70, China from €4.90, Tunisia from €5.30, Morocco from €3.90, Thailand from €4.50, Albania from €4.20, the Balkans from €4.90, Europe from €4.50, South East Asia from €3.80, the Middle East from €5.70, and North America from €5.40. For frequent travelers, the Global eSIM covers 172 countries on a pay-per-use model: you load a balance and pay only for the data you use, with no expiration on that balance. This approach is similar to prepaid cellular top-up plans in many countries. All plans carry the same fundamental structure: purchase once, use it, top up whenever you need more data. The site does not publish per-gigabyte rates or throttle speeds for the fixed packages, so you cannot compare costs per unit before buying. For the Global eSIM, usage discounts appear to increase as you travel more, handled through the Travel Journal feature that tracks your destinations. Pricing is in euros, US dollars, British pounds, Brazilian real, and Canadian dollars.

Coverage and networks

Quibity covers more than 200 destinations worldwide according to the site. The Global eSIM specifically reaches 172 countries. The pages do not name the underlying carriers or networks that provide this coverage, only that your phone automatically connects to a local operator in each country with automatic detection of the best available network. The site does not publish a list of which specific carriers are available in any given destination, so you cannot verify coverage for a particular country before purchase without contacting support. Regional categories (Europe, South East Asia, Balkans, Middle East, North America, Caribbean) are listed on the destination selector, but the page does not detail which countries fall into each region or confirm that all 172 Global eSIM countries are actually covered by the fixed regional plans. The site mentions that automatic connection happens in "every country," but since the fixed plans are region-based with pricing brackets ("from €X"), it's unclear whether all countries in a region have the same rates or whether some cost more. A 4.7 out of 5 Trustpilot rating with over 10,800 reviews suggests reliable coverage in popular destinations, but real-time coverage verification tools are not visible on the captured pages. No guarantees about network quality or speed are published.

How it works in practice

Installation is a three-step process: select your destination, choose a data package or Unlimited Data, then scan a QR code or install via the app. Once the eSIM is installed, activate it from your phone's settings when you land. Quibity offers unlimited hotspot: share your data with other devices through tethering without restrictions on how much you share or which devices connect. Top-ups are available anytime through the app, so running out of data mid-trip does not leave you stranded. The site states that human customer support, not chatbots, answers emails within minutes in your language, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week; this is a significant distinction because many eSIM providers rely on automated responses. A Travel Journal feature tracks countries you visit and unlocks exclusive discounts the more you travel, rewarding frequent users with ongoing price reductions. All installation and activation is done online; no visit to a physical store or carrier shop is needed. The entire process, from purchase to activation, can happen from your phone in less than ten minutes. The site does not specify whether the eSIM is data-only or includes SMS and voice calling, though the interface emphasizes data and internet connectivity above all and marketing copy never mentions voice or SMS features.

What remains unclear

The site does not commit to a throttle speed or whether "Unlimited Data" means truly unlimited or includes a fair-use cap before slowdown; it only says "stop worrying about usage," which is marketing language that avoids the question. Quibity does not publish which carriers power coverage in each country, so you are relying on automatic routing after purchase to discover whether the local networks suit your needs. No information appears about refund policies, how long plans remain active after activation, or whether you can pause and resume service. Device compatibility is mentioned only in passing as supporting "all smartphones," but no exhaustive list exists and no online checker is provided. The pricing for the bundled regional plans (Europe, Asia, Middle East, etc.) is listed as "from X amount" but without showing data allowances, validity windows, or actual plan tiers before you navigate to each region's selector. This means you cannot compare the Italian €4.20 plan to the Egyptian €3.80 plan to see which gives you more data or a longer validity period. You must enter each region's selector separately to see the detailed tiers. For anyone needing predictable per-gigabyte costs or specific carrier networks in advance, Quibity's transparency leaves gaps. The Travel Journal feature and its discount mechanics are mentioned but not detailed: the site does not explain what "exclusive discounts" means or how much you save.
