    Do you need full voice call and SMS capability or only data? Do your phones accept eSIM?
    Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure about voice calls but it would possibly be useful to have texts and data.
  • That’s not a bad deal to be fair.  How much data does that include?   Neither of those destinations are particularly cheap to buy travel sims (or esims) for. 

    If you’re only using data (& not voice or text) you halve that with an Airalo esim - but if you use more than a few GB of data it’ll add to the same as you were quoted - and be less convenient. 
    It's only 500mb and 1gb with those 2 options
  • I've just found out that my phone doesn't support an esim so can anyone recommend anything else please
