Greetings all,
I am following this thread as I too expect our options to be more affordable.
option 1:Some phones work with esims, but not all. I believe esims are very affordable and easy to load from home. You receive a link, et voila!
option 2: some carriers offer an international monthly plan. Mine is $80/mth for 1gb, 100mins, 200 txt, I believe. I use Whatsap on wifi alot too. Skype to land land offers low rates. VOIP.
option 3: order your physical sim card online (not practical for any of us, esp not last minute for the OP)
Please take above with a grain of salt.. a starting point.
What is the trend for us island hoppers?
Safe travels to all. Stay healthy.
