By use case
Choosing an eSIM for long stays
For long stays, use an eSIM as a bridge and switch to a local plan once settled. Longer validity and top-up support help.
How much data you need
The longer the stay, the more validity and easy top-ups matter over raw data. Unlimited plans are an option too.
A rough guide; actual use varies by app and behavior.
What to look for
