Any reviews between icc and that ubigi esim? Pricing seems not too different (looking at 1gb/day for 15 days ICC)
ICC now only offer softbank simcard. Didn't have a comparison but network wasn't always great. I used to get ntt from them which seemed better. But then diff areas visited, so can't be sure.

For xiaomi I noticed the bands they used not compatible with many networks. They like to connect to some 4G network but the data will not work. One solution is to force it into 3G.

I agree it's quite spoiler if you need it to show something or for GPS.
