Which eSIM do you buy for the EU?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I have an Orange eSIM with a France number that I have kept alive by reactivating it at least once every 6 months. It's good for all Europe, without roaming charges, so that's easy to do. Having the same number all the time is convenient, but more importantly I have gone through the hassle of providing passport info to Orange, which is a government requirement if you want a number for more than a couple of weeks. I think that's an EU thing.

The local number is good for calling hotels and for making restaurant reservations. Just having that is a game changer.

For my wife's we don't need a number, so I just use Nomad for her data only eSIM, and get a new one each time. The cost is about $12-15, and you get whatever carrier you get, but the service has been good so far no I keep using Nomad.

We can text each other using WhatsApp, and you can even use WhatsApp for voice calls. The sound quality is acceptable.
