My experience with Superalink
I tested Superalink on a trip to Bali and went with the Indonesia plan (5GB per day for 4 days). Checkout was straightforward, and the QR code arrived by email right after I paid. No extra steps, no app download needed.
Installation itself was quick, but I’ll mention one thing honestly: it didn’t connect instantly after scanning the QR code. It took a few minutes longer than I expected to kick in. I was just about to restart my phone and contact support when it finally connected and started working normally. Not a big deal, but worth knowing so you don’t panic if you don’t get data the second you install it.
Once it was active, it was exactly what I wanted from a travel eSIM. I used it day to day for emails from cafés, Google Maps, messaging, Spotify, and general browsing while moving between Seminyak, Canggu, and Uluwatu. I didn’t run into dropouts, and I never had a moment where I had to troubleshoot the connection.
One thing I personally liked is that Superalink doesn’t force you into an app. You can handle everything through the website, which fits how I use my phone when I’m travelling: I try to keep it simple and avoid installing extra apps I’ll delete again a week later.
💡 Tip: Even if the QR setup only takes seconds, it’s worth doing a quick “eSIM cleanup” first: remove any unused profiles and rename the new one right away. Future-you will thank you when you’re managing multiple eSIMs on the same phone.
Superalink eSIM speed test
So, how’s Superalink’s internet speed? In my Bali test, I was genuinely impressed. It felt quick and stable the whole time once it connected.
I tested Superalink on an iPhone 15 Pro using speedtest.net. The results came in at 96.6 Mbps download and 51.2 Mbps upload, with a 143 ms ping and 5 ms jitter. That’s strong performance for a travel eSIM and more than enough for normal day-to-day use.
Superalink eSIM speedtest on speedtest.netSpeedtest also rated the connection well for web browsing, video streaming, and video calls. The only area that looked a bit mixed was gaming, which makes sense with a higher ping. That’s pretty typical for roaming-style connections.
One thing to know: Superalink’s “unlimited” plans come with 5GB of high-speed data per day, and once you hit that daily allowance, speeds are reduced until the next day’s reset. For my 4-day trial, 5GB per day was plenty.
Last context note: Bali’s mobile coverage is generally solid in popular areas like Seminyak, Canggu, and Uluwatu, but it can get patchier in more remote parts of the island (and across other Indonesian islands). My test was mainly in those busier areas, so I can’t speak for rural Indonesia, but for a typical Bali trip, I had no complaints. As always, results will vary by country and local networks, Bali is just the test case here but from our experience usually a good indicator.

Superalink travel perks and protection
Beyond data plans, Superalink offers a couple of extras worth knowing about before your next trip.
Supera Care
Supera Care is an added protection benefit for Superalink eSIM users. It covers unexpected connectivity issues during travel that fall outside standard refund eligibility. If a communication failure leads to costs you wouldn't have otherwise had, such as needing alternative connectivity, rebooking transport, accommodation changes, or disrupted pre-booked activities, Supera Care provides compensation of up to €144 for direct purchases and €173 via partners. Coverage runs from activation through to the end of your plan's usage period, and claims can be submitted within 30 days.
Asia Super Travel campaign
Superalink also runs an Asia Super Travel campaign for travellers heading to Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, or Vietnam. In Southeast Asia, customers receive a complimentary 1-month Grab Travel Pass, which gives discounts on rides and food delivery. For Japan, the perk is a 500 Japanese Yen GO Taxi voucher to help with getting around. These perks activate from the moment you land, which is a nice added bonus on top of your data plan.
Superalink installation & troubleshooting
Setup is straightforward, and you don’t need an app. After buying a plan, I received the QR code by email, opened it on my laptop and scanned it on my iPhone, which took me straight into the eSIM settings.
One thing to know from my test (and it matches what Superalink says in their guide): activation can take a few minutes. In my case, it didn’t connect instantly after installation and took longer than expected but then worked normally for the rest of the trip.
Before you start (quick checklist)
🛜Make sure you have internet access during installation (Wi-Fi or another connection), because you need it to add the eSIM.
🕑 Superalink recommends installing the eSIM a few hours before your trip, then switching Data Roaming on after you arrive at your destination.
⚠️ Your voucher/QR code is single-use. Once installed, don’t delete/remove the eSIM, because it can’t be reused.
Option 1: QR code activation (iPhone)
- Go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM
- Choose Use QR Code
- Scan the QR code from your email (or from your voucher page)
- Follow the on-screen steps (this can take a few minutes)
- Set your cellular data line to the Superalink eSIM
- Once you’re at your destination, switch Data Roaming ON for the Superalink line
- If needed, turn Wi-Fi off briefly so you can confirm the eSIM is actually providing data
Option 2: Manual activation (if the QR code doesn’t scan)
- Go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM
- Tap Enter Details Manually
- Enter the activation details from your voucher/email
- Complete setup, then select the eSIM for cellular data and enable Data Roaming once you arrive
If it doesn’t connect right away (quick fixes)
- Toggle airplane mode on/off
- Restart your phone
- Confirm the Superalink eSIM is selected for mobile data
- Check that Data Roaming is enabled (once you’re in the destination)
- If your phone is set to “5G only,” switch to automatic / LTE+5G
If you do need help, Superalink offers WhatsApp support 24/7. It’s a lot quicker than support emails and you can easily share screenshots.
Can I recommend Superalink eSIM?
Based on my Bali test, I’d say Superalink is a solid option if you want a unlimited-data travel eSIM that’s easy to set up and delivers good day-to-day performance, especially if you’re travelling in Asia where they seem to price very competitively.
What I liked
- Good real-world speeds: I got 96.6 Mbps down / 51.2 Mbps up, which is more than enough for normal travel use (and even a bit of work on the go).
- Simple setup: Buy online, scan the QR code, done. Activation took a few minutes for me, but after that it ran smoothly.
- No app required: Everything can be handled through the website, including checking your data usage. I prefer this because I like to keep my phone minimal.
- Hotspot worked: I was able to tether when I needed to get my laptop online.
What could be better
- Data-only: There are no calls or SMS, so you’ll rely on WhatsApp/FaceTime/Signal, etc.
- “Unlimited” needs context: Their unlimited plans come with a daily high-speed allowance of 5GB, and speeds drop once you hit that limit until the next reset. For most travellers this is fine, but it’s worth knowing upfront.
- Not many long-term reviews yet: Superalink is still relatively new, so there’s less real-world reporting across a wide range of destinations compared to the bigger eSIM brands. While their Trustpilot rating with 4.1 seems solid, it’s based on only 50 review as of March 2026.

Final recommendation
If you want an eSIM that you can set up quickly, then largely forget about, Superalink did the job for me. In Bali, it delivered strong speeds, handled day-to-day use without hiccups, and worked fine for hotspotting when I needed to get my laptop online.
The main thing to be clear on is how their “unlimited” plans work: you get a daily high-speed allowance, and speeds are reduced after you hit it until the next day’s reset. For most travellers, that’s totally fine, but if you’re planning to stream constantly or upload large files every day, it’s worth choosing your plan with that in mind.
Overall, I’d happily use Superalink again for short trips, especially in Asia where pricing tends to be competitive. For other destinations, I’d treat Bali as a useful benchmark rather than a guarantee. Performance will always depend on local networks, but my test experience was very positive.
