Was Reisende sagen

Great for Europe. Would love to see more Pacific coverage, but for what it does it does it well.

The dog on the confirmation email made me laugh. Small thing but it's why I remembered the brand enough to buy again.

Bought at 7pm, flew at 6am, connected by 10am local. No drama.

Spent two weeks in Spain posting far too many stories and never once thought about data. My old provider would have charged me the price of a flight for that.

honestly forgot i was even using an esim which i think is the point

Two weeks in Turkey. Worked in Istanbul, worked in Cappadocia, worked at the airport. Job done.

Nice touch that you can see where the donation went. Most companies would just say "we support charities" and leave it there.

My daughter is studying in Barcelona and I bought her a 30 day plan. She said it was the least embarrassing thing I've done for her all year.

Third trip using rufly now. Nothing dramatic to report, which is exactly what you want from a phone plan.

I've used Airalo and Holafly. This is the first one where I didn't spend the first hour of my holiday troubleshooting.

Support replied on a Sunday evening. Actual person, actual answer, not a bot loop.

Reliable and cheap. Would be five stars if there was a way to extend a plan mid trip without buying a whole new one, I had to buy a second one when my trip got extended.

Worked perfectly. Only feedback is I'd like a family option so I'm not buying four separate plans.

Used it in the US, which is normally where my European plans die. Worked in New York and in the middle of Utah.

easy. cheap. dogs. what more do you want

Bought it for the dog thing then realised it was also just the cheapest option for two weeks in Spain. Both things can be true.

I'm cynical about cause marketing. Ten percent of revenue is not nothing though, and they publish it. Fine, I'm convinced.

Landed in Lisbon at 1am, no shops open, everyone else queueing for wifi. Already online. Felt very smug.

No issues at all in France and Belgium. Only reason it isn't five is I'd like an Android app rather than doing everything through settings.

Went to Portugal for a month to work remote. 39 euros for the whole stay. My American brain still can't process that.

Did a month in Europe. Two plans, no fuss, and we got an email showing what the donation went to. Small touch but it stuck with us.

Third purchase. At this point I just buy it automatically when I book flights.

i've got two rescue greyhounds so obviously i was always going to buy this. genuinely surprised how smooth the actual product was though

Bought it for a work trip to Germany. Fine on the train, fine in the office, fine in the middle of nowhere in Bavaria.

Instant delivery. Bought it sitting at the gate with about twenty minutes to spare and it was live before boarding.

Support were good and sorted it in the end, but I couldn't get it installed on my Pixel and lost about half a day of my trip to it. Worth checking the compatibility page before you buy, which I didn't.

Used in Croatia and Slovenia on the same trip, no swapping, no faff.

The install instructions are actually written for humans. Whoever wrote them, well done.

I travel for work maybe eight times a year. This is now just part of my packing routine. Buy, install, forget.

€29.99 for two weeks in Italy versus what Vodafone wanted to charge me. No contest.

Bought three plans for the family before Italy. Kids were on TikTok the whole flight home from Naples. Mixed feelings but that's not Rufly's fault.

Good product and easy checkout. I'd like to see a receipt or invoice emailed automatically for expenses, I had to ask for one.

The bit I like is they tell you exactly which carrier you're piggybacking on. Most of these companies are cagey about it.

Iceland for ten days. Coverage held up in places I genuinely did not expect it to.

installed it in the taxi to the airport because I forgot. still worked. don't be like me but also, it worked

My husband is the skeptical one and even he admitted it was easier than the SIM shop routine we used to do at every airport.

Great coverage in cities, slightly patchier on a hike in the Dolomites, but so was everyone else's. Support was quick when I asked about it and they were straight with me about which networks they use, which I appreciated.

I check the receipts page every few weeks. They actually publish it. Very few brands would.

Two weeks in Thailand and Vietnam. Maps, Grab, translation apps all day every day. Never had to think about it once.

Solid. One thing: I bought Europe rather than a single country and it was slightly more per day than I expected. Read the plan pages properly, that's on me.

Used it in five countries on one trip and never had to buy anything else. That was the whole selling point and it delivered.

came for the dogs stayed because it actually worked, which is more than I can say for the last one I bought

The Travel Impact Passport thing is genuinely fun. Eight countries stamped now. I did not expect to care about it and I do.

Got a text from my sister asking how I had signal in the middle of Greece when she didn't. Small victories.

honestly bought it for the dogs. stayed for the fact I didn't get a £180 roaming bill for once.

Fine product, genuinely. But I got in a bit of a muddle on install because I have two eSIMs already on my phone and had to work out which line to route data through. That's an Apple problem more than a Rufly one but a heads up would help.

I'm Portuguese and I still use this when I go home for a month, because my UK plan is useless there. Also it's about 40 euros for the whole month which is nothing.

worked. thats it thats the review

Bought one for my mum before her Italy trip and she managed to install it herself. That is the highest praise I can offer any piece of technology.

Spain, 30 days, no complaints. Would have liked a bit more warning about needing to turn data roaming on, I nearly emailed support before I spotted it in the instructions.

QR code arrived in about 30 seconds. I have waited longer for a Deliveroo confirmation.

Bought the Italy 15 day plan, installed it on the sofa the night before, landed in Rome already connected. Whole thing cost less than one day of my carrier's international plan.

Ten days in Berlin, worked in the U-Bahn which is more than my German colleagues could say.

Product is solid and I'd recommend it, but I'd like to see a live data usage counter in the app. Not a dealbreaker, just would be nice to see.

Rescued my own dog four years ago so this was an easy sell. Then it turned out to be cheaper than what I was paying AT&T for international. Now I'm just annoyed I didn't find it sooner.

No hidden top ups, no data packs, no “you have used 80% of your allowance” texts at 3am. Just the one price. Refreshing.

I work remotely and I need to trust my connection. Ran three Zoom calls from a beach in Sicily. Nobody knew.

Bought it at 6am in an airport queue, half asleep, and still managed to install it. That's the real test.

Worked flawlessly in Paris and Amsterdam. Slight lag reconnecting after a flight but a quick toggle of airplane mode sorted it. Would buy again.

Setup took under two minutes. I have used four other eSIM providers and this is the first one where I did not need to Google anything.

I bought it mainly because of the dog shelter donation and assumed the product would be mediocre. It was not. Two weeks in Greece, zero drops, one very smug feeling about the whole thing.

unlimited actually means unlimited. tethered my laptop for 4 days in Porto and nobody throttled me into oblivion. that's rare.

Data was great, coverage in rural Croatia was better than my mate's Vodafone roaming. Only knocking a star because the QR install instructions took me two goes on an older iPhone. Support answered in about ten minutes though.

Used it across Spain, France and Italy on a three week trip. Never once had to think about it. Also my partner cried a bit at the shelter thing so, you know. Good work.

Landed in Lisbon at 11pm, no queue for a SIM shop, no roaming charges. Phone connected before I got to baggage claim. Genuinely the least stressful part of the trip.
