Hi folks
I have a 15 day holiday in US (Yosemite / Sequoia) later in the year and was considering the best way to manage phone / data.
I’m with Tesco mobile and I think it’s £5 / MB in the US.
Anyone used this > https://esimcrew.com/pricing
Any good / how does it work ? I have an iPhone 13 and looks like it works with that example.

Get a 3 PAYG SIM in the UK and for £10 you can get 12 or so GB of roaming data in 72 countries including the US.
The data speeds can be slow with uk sims, these days you’re better with an eSIM and buy a data package for that country. You load the app on your phone and buy a plan, it works out cheaper.I think Revolut do an eSIM plan as well now but I’ve always used ubigi. Never had a problem.

Airalo e-sim.
Easy to use and cheap. Used it for the first time in Washington last year and was simple.
Going back in a few months (near where you’re going as well) and will be doing the same.

I just used Lebara for 3 days in Brazil. Phone not esim compatible so bought a physical sim. £5 for 1gb, 50 mins and 50 texts, expired after 8 days. Absolutely perfect, used 400mb, 2 mins and no texts. Obviously had wifi at hotel to videocall wife on Whatsapp.
I'm with Sky so they charge £2/day for USA to extend your UK plan, so I'm fine with that.

Another vote for Airalo, I used them in South Africa based on a recommendation from here and it worked fine.
If you do go the e-sim route, see if anyone here a referral code for your chosen supplier. Someone on here gave me a referral code when I got an Airalo one and I got a discount and the referrer got a bit of credit.
