SIM/eSIM (Europe)

My experience with Maya was mixed. One out of three phones had real trouble connecting, and then the data disappeared rather quickly.

I may try a different eSim next time.

Slightly different approach, but if you are a Rakuten Mobile customer, you have data roaming included in your plan. 2GB of high-speed roaming each month, which came in very handy for a Dec-2024+Jan 2025 trip abroad recently as it added up to useful 2+2=4GB.

When traveling abroad, I often look at both Airalo and Holafly and compare pricing. These are both major eSIM carriers in many countries, and one often offers better service or pricing in the target country to which you're planning to travel. A quick glance at both websites can often lead you to a decent deal. Most new-ish smartphone models support eSIM, and you should be able to quickly test functionality.
