eSims, what is your experience.

And it is often difficult to know which country their services appear from.

I've had issues where I get blocked because the eSim is routing your data through another country like China and gives you a Chinese IP address, or just in general gives you an IP that's not from the country you're roaming in, and some sites and apps block 'foreign' IP addresses.

100% - I used Sim Corner on a recent EU trip and it was a French IP address which caused some issues in the UK.

A VPN ought to get around some of those IP issues.

Otherwise, just ask here for advice. The name brands: Flexiroam, Saily, Airalo etc will usually all work fine but you’re paying a lot more than necessary these days.

Airalo used to be my go-to but their prices are just too high now, even with cashback!

Ditto for Flexiroam. They used to have long duration / low GB plans that were cheap in sales or with MC 20% off, but now they’re short duration / massive GBs for massive USDs…

Eskimo is now my default. No expiry. Buy Global, Regional or Country plans during Sales that all work off the same eSIM.

As above, amaysim $30 pm plan plus $20 for 12mths calls/txt (100mins/100 txt).
