Travel esims - What's your favourite ?
I have used Airalo successfully.
I know of Holafly and Nomad.
What are people's experiences of Holafly, Nomad and others ?

I've used a data only eSIM from Soracom Mobile, which worked well for me while in the US and Australia.
One of their eSIM products provided data in the destinations I wanted, for the time period I needed, all in single eSIM package.Seems there are many data only eSIM options available online these days - spoilt for choice (provided your handset supports an eSIM).
Not heard of them, will check them out,
”Sparks” looks good - Their plans last for 45 days, not the usual 30 days.
It does seem as if one or two new eSIM companies pop up every month or two.
I needed data on a recent trip to Alaska and got an Airalo e-SIM which worked well in the towns & cities (rural areas don't have much coverage from any network). USA data isn't cheap from any network and I thought the cost was fair. The app also worked well on my Google Pixel.
You wasted money unnecessarily. Verizon, Visible, T-Mobile, ATT, all offer minimum 15 day test drives of their carrier with unlimited data.
The US market is light years ahead of the British one carrier wise.
JJP2 I have never used one for two reasons:
1. Until reading a bit more on this forum, I knew nothing about them.
2. I am a cheapskate and rely on freebie wifi if I am out of the EU Roaming area 😎. (You can understand that with an attitude like mine, nobody wants to call me or hear from me anyway!!)
😂
Airalo is really cheap, $4.50 for a Gigabyte of data in most places, $5.00 in some others.
Airalo is *not* cheap. In any respect. The plans they resell are grossly marked up, and offer highly poor value for money. Don’t use them.
