It's again based on an Estonian number. Interesting concept.
It competes with ChatSIM, but has a better price model.
As you see from this post https://travelsim.com/please-welcome-travelchat/
it comes from the same folks as TravelSIM, aka oneSimCard, aka XXSim.
TravelSIM and its clones are generally a pretty reliable product.

But there are further inconsistencies in their description: on their Amazon.com offer
https://www.amazon.com/International.../dp/B076Q837KL
they mention:

"Product Details:
- Unlimited chats for one year - then refill for 10 usd for another
- 15mb chats per day
"

Well, you can hardly sell "unlimited" chats per year, when you limit them to 15 MB per day. There is nothing like throttled messages....

In the headline on Amazon.com they advertise:
"Europe Italy France Cuba Costa Rica & 90 Others .
Cuba would be a good option as all mobile internet is sold very $$$ there.

But in their pricelist on their website https://travelchat.com/ Cuba is missing
and when you enter Cuba in the coverage search, you will get:
"Cuba - no coverage" .....

Why would one pay $25 when you can have WhatsApp, line, Viber for free. You can have it all unlimited no throttling. It does not make any sense to me. Just a way for someone to make money for nothing.

I have a t-mobile sim. I have WhatsApp, Skype, and Facetime if I wanted line or Viber I can download it for free. So why would I pay? WhatsApp has always been free for messaging or calls. I have never been charged. Have used it pretty much worldwide. Facetime is free. Skype is just 22Euros a year for my subscription. I am sure line and Viber charge for calls, but I don't use these as I have enough calling options.
