Thanks for your post. I just returned from England and installed an eSim from Airalo when I arrived there. It was my first time using an Sim or eSim. My Verizon plan was not working and I read an online recommendation on Airalo. Very easy to install as you said and it cost me about 8 US dollars for 15 days. In my case, I could send and receive texts and phone calls. I will never use my own carrier any more - too expensive.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Very helpful to know that eSIM functionalities actually may vary depending on the country. Definitely worth double-checking before buying!

Thanks for the article. I travel quite a bit and had never heard of an eSIM. Sounds like an interesting option.

Cheers

Glad it helped! Yeah I think eSIMs still lack a bit of awareness among travelers, for some reasons..

Thank you for the article, I wanted to try it too, but my phone doesn't support eSIMs.

Thank you! That's a good point actually, and one worth checking in advance -not all mobile phones support eSIMs (yet).
