Prices are competitive and you can even find 20% off referral codes floating around for an even better deal (I don’t have any, so don’t ask, but others may or you can just Google and find some of Reddit)
Have a great DO everyone. I am skipping this year (with regrets now especially since some many familiar people will be there). Oh well, there’s always next year.
Edit: Ubigi is data only
Thank you for your data point.
I’ve used Airalo for 20+ countries and I think the only time I had issues was in Croatia 🇭🇷 And even then I believe it was a user error
I just checked prices for both Ubigi and Airalo. Very competitive, within few dollars.
Airalo:
- 10 day Unlimited plan is $35
- 15 day 20GB plan is $24
There is a plethora of cheaper and more expensive plans depending how much data you want. Data only.
Airalo can run 5G on both KDDI and SoftBank.

Ubigi:
- 15 day Unlimited plan = $39
Ubigi runs 5G on NTT DoCoMo and KDDI network.
