Ubigi review
Ubigi is the travel eSIM from Transatel (an NTT company), offering metered and fair-use unlimited plans across 160+ countries. An independent, data-grounded review: we track 937 Ubigi plans across 167 destinations, ranked against every other provider we cover on value, price and coverage. The verdict and standings are computed from data and never paid placement; every figure links to the plan that proves it.
Ubigi is a capable travel eSIM, but not the value leader
Ubigi offers both metered and unlimited plans (270 of 937 unlimited), from $2.00 and $0.44/GB at best. Across the 25 providers we track it ranks #12 of 25 on value per GB, #9 of 25 on entry price and #21 of 25 on destination coverage, over 167 destinations. Consider Ubigi 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, Rovero edges it ($0.01/GB).
