I have been using Esimio regularly during my international travels without any major issues. However, after my most recent trip, I encountered a serious problem. On July 16, 2025, I returned to Turkey with approximately $28.15 USD remaining in my Esimio account.
On July 29, 2025, I logged into the app using a VPN, only to discover that my balance had dropped to $0 USD. When I checked the details, I saw that Esimio claimed I had used 8.28 GB in July and 1.82 GB in August, totaling about $29.3 USD in charges.
This is impossible. Since July 10, 2025, Esimio usage has been banned in Turkey. I never activated Esimio as my cellular data line while in Turkey — I was exclusively using my Vodafone SIM card. Despite this, my Esimio balance was deducted as if data had been consumed.
I contacted Esimio support through the app, but I have not received any response so far. This is deeply frustrating because I effectively lost funds for a service that was not active, not used, and not even legally available in my country.
I am requesting a full refund of the $29.3 USD wrongly deducted from my balance and a proper explanation of how this unauthorized data usage was logged. Customers should not lose money for services they could not possibly use.
On April 11, 2025, I loaded $47 USD into my Esimio account as a general balance top-up. However, since the Esimio service has been banned in Turkey, it has become completely impossible for me to use this balance. This restriction is not my fault and is entirely due to external factors beyond my cont...

On September 8, 2025, while on vacation in Halkidiki, Greece, I downloaded the esim io app on my phone based on a friend’s recommendation. I purchased an individual data package priced at $12.50, paying $13 USD with my İş Bankası credit card. However, no matter how many times I tried, the service ne...
I purchased an eSIM io package to use during my trip to Greece. Although my device fully supports eSIM technology, I was unable to activate or install it. I immediately contacted customer support, but I never received any reply or assistance. Now that I am back in Turkey, I tried again to install a...
Since October 4, at 11:00 PM, I have not been able to connect to the internet using the eSIM I purchased from Esimio. I am currently in Moscow, and I urgently need internet access. I paid $25 for a 20 GB data package, and I still have 17 GB of data remaining, yet I cannot connect to the internet at ...
