E-sim

[riverking]

Hi
I'm sure I'll get a better answer on here than google.
I would like to get an e-sim on my phone with some data and some calls, so I can make local calls whilst in the US.
My problem is, I don't know where to start. Does it interfere with my physical sim? I haven't a clue. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Depending on your phone’s compatibility you can get T Mobile monthly prepaid esim. You get a US phone number with unlimited calls and texts and a data allowance. You choose how much data you want when you install the esim. It’s compatible with all the newish iPhone models

This option seems really expensive now? I can’t find the $10 option.

$15 for 5GB of data & unlimited calls and texts is the lowest option.
I think they did one with 3gb of data before.

I can’t see that one? The cheapest for enough for a two week holiday is $35.

Are you looking at limited or unlimited plans, there’s 2 options

If you are making WhatsApp or FaceTime audio calls then you can get any eSIM out there. There are free eSIMs from Verizon

Or you can use Airalo or hubby.

If you want to swap out your sim then you can use 3 PAYG but make sure you activate in uk first 👍

Tried to install the Verizon app, but as my google store is set to UK it wouldn't let me download it. Tried @ home with a vpn and fake GPS still no go, I might try to change my address, but I think there is a limit on how many time you can change it a year

I am gonna look into this I have a week trip soon, I have my phone set to USA for work anyways, will I not be able to activate it till I land in the states I have never used a Esim before. I have 2 phones 1 for work and my own, I have 02 with my own with international sim but they have changed the rules where you can only use it for 63 continuous days abroad which I am going to turn to Airplane mode when I land anyways.

Believe you will need to do the Verizon trial from WiFi when you are there. If you sign up for Airalo or similar then you can install here and when on the flight just turn data off on your UK sim and turn data on for the eSim.

On an iPhone thats settings, mobile service, mobile data 👍

For airalo discount code Wander15 still works. Hubby looks a bit cheaper but I have not used yet
