Its legal notice names the seller as HỘ KINH DOANH PHẠM THỊ BÍCH THỦY, a household business in Lâm Đồng, Vietnam.

The verdict and standings are computed from data and never paid placement; every figure links to the plan that proves it.
shibaSIM is a capable travel eSIM, but not the value leader
shibaSIM offers both metered and unlimited plans (50 of 179 unlimited), from $1.59 and $0.29/GB at best. Across the 24 providers we track it ranks #3 of 24 on value per GB, #6 of 24 on entry price and #24 of 24 on destination coverage, over 19 destinations. Consider shibaSIM if you want an unlimited total allowance, then check the exact plan's speed policy, hotspot terms and validity. Unlimited does not guarantee unrestricted streaming or tethering. If squeezing the lowest price per GB matters most, eSIM For U edges it ($0.28/GB).
