GoMoWorld: comprehensive review in 2025
Bottom Line
GoMoWorld has potential with nice features like free VPN and trial data, but the manual activation requirement, broken hotspot, and terrible routing from Asia make it hard to recommend outside of Europe. Best for European travelers only.

esims.io team's takeaway
GoMoWorld is a European eSIM provider offering free VPN, programmable activation dates, and even free trial data to test before you buy. Their website and app are well-designed, but the overall experience has some notable friction points that hurt usability.
The eSIMS.io team tested GoMoWorld's Vietnam plan from Ho Chi Minh City. The purchase process was smooth on both website and app, with multiple installation options available. However, setup confusion arose: unlike other providers where eSIMs activate automatically, GoMoWorld requires you to manually "Start your plan" from within the mobile app before it connects. This isn't clearly communicated and delayed our connection significantly while we figured it out. Additionally, despite hotspot being advertised, tethering didn't work in our test—we couldn't share connectivity to our laptop.
Network performance was the biggest issue: traffic was routed through Ireland (via Eir) from Vietnam, creating extremely high latency and poor performance overall. While GoMoWorld offers some nice features like included European VPN, free trial data, and a €2 discount (code: ESIMSIO), the distant routing and broken hotspot feature significantly diminish the value. The manual plan activation requirement is also a confusing UX pattern that needs improvement.

Network Quality and eSIM Features
Network quality & roaming
May have limited internet performance
Based on our testing, your internet traffic may travel to a distant country (often another continent) before accessing the web (distant connection). This can create noticeable delays—video calls may lag, websites might load slower, and online services could think you're in the distant routing country, not where you actually are. May cause issues with location-based services and banking apps.
Routes through Eir network from Ireland. The 4/10 performance score reflects poor routing decisions, with distant Ireland routing from Vietnam creating extremely high latency and subpar performance.
