T-mobile is a good choice but your will need a post paid account. Sorry pre-paid $15 / $10 a month peeps, you don’t get any data, txt or phone. Your phone will be off line when you land in Europe – ask me how I know! Thanks fine, more reason to get an eSIM.
5Gb Free data is included in most higher and mid tier plans plan but seeing as a huge number of Americans visit the UK, if you’re on a lesser plan then you won’t get data! Ouch! And the $50 plan is about double the rate of an eSIM.
If you use all the high-speed data before the designated time is up, you can still use unlimited texting and data at Simple Global speeds based on your current rate plan, or at up to 128kbps for the duration of the pass if your plan doesn’t include international data. The unlimited calling will be available for the full designated time as well. If you activate a new pass, then your old pass expires, and your time starts over using the duration of the new pass.
Solution: We recommend an eSIM
