Unlimited eSIM Plans: Are They Really Unlimited?

Mexico City 2 a.m. Uber won’t load.

Shinkansen Reels upload freezes.

 London Tube hotspot suddenly cuts everyone off.

That’s everyday life with most “unlimited” eSIMs.

Here’s what actually happens with Ugoroam in the 10 destinations people search for the most.

The 5 Traps Everyone Else Sets (and we don’t)

Most providers Real-life pain Ugoroam reality
1–2 GB then brutal throttle Can’t use the internet after 7 p.m. Up to 10 GB high-speed, then unlimited 128 kbps
Hotspot capped or 1 device only Family & friends left offline Truly unlimited hotspot, any number of devices
After quota → basically offline WhatsApp voice fails 128 kbps forever — maps, chat, Uber still work
Must activate in 7–30 days Plans change → money wasted 180 days to activate

 

Real Daily Usage

Normal day (maps + chat + photos + music) → 0.8–2 GB Heavy creator day (Reels + uploads) → 4–7 GB Whole family sharing + Netflix → 8–12 GB

99 % of travellers never touch the cap.
