1. Buy physical esim on AliExpress. Even the cheapest ones have 15 profiles. 2. trip.com has the lowest prices for esims.
I'm sorry but what in bloody hell is a "physical eSIM"?
eSIM was supposed to replace SIM cards, but carriers turned it into a trap

>1. Buy physical esim on AliExpress. Even the cheapest ones have 15 profiles. What happens when phones go esim only, like the iPhone air already is?

Good catch. That being said, I used saily in multiple countries, it’s pretty useful. But they have dirty marketing strategies, like this one

#15Carrier locked phones haven't existed in my country for decades. I'm quite happy with eSIM- my fine motor skills don't work outside of videogames so replacing SIM was always a pain.

Saily is a joke for pricing. I've never seen anyone beat Airalo's pricing. But they sure cornered those YouTubers!

Never heard of airalo, will check next time. I didn’t find sally to be expensive, might depend on the location?
Turns out it's very easy to buy sims but no way to get refund OR support via site, you have to be on WhatsApp which I am not, there is no other channel.
To make things worse, it ALWAYS makes you sign in with an emailed code, and sometimes it has issues delivering this code. every time I leave the tab for a while or restart phone to try make things work, new code, and sometimes it never arrives or arrives 10 min later. trying to solve this in the moment I basically was stuck in airport arrivals for 40 min.
eventually I bought two esims from Airalo, one for specific country and another for the whole Europe including that country hopping at least the other one connects. both never connected
I don't even care about refund. just mad about wasted time and ruined arrival.
