Is the GigSky Worth It?

Best coverage in unusual places. GigSky is the one to reach for when the destination is unusual and the others show no coverage at all. For an ordinary US trip it costs more for less.

GigSky Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Covers places other eSIMs do not, including maritime and small island networks
  • Preinstalled on many Apple and Microsoft devices
  • Works on Apple Watch cellular
  • Long-standing operator relationships
Cons
  • $3.00 per GB — the most expensive metered plan here
  • App is dated
  • Speeds were unremarkable in all three locations
