I’m a college student and I’ve been backpacking around Europe. I found Firsty and it helped make everything simple for me. The free plan was perfect for me.

Installing was so easy
I was worried at first about losing my prior SIM card and cellular plan, but with Firsty you can keep your other plans. Super easy to setup as well.

Came in Clutch
I ran out of data on my trip to Europe. I was stuck in a city I didn’t know and I was worried. Firsty was clutch and got me home safely in an Uber.

Just switch already
I love this app. My friends are mad that I get the best connection. No more crazy roaming costs from popular providers. Just switch tbh.
