This ESIM worked flawlessly

This ESIM worked flawlessly. We did a 2 week trip in Europe. We went to Madrid, Paris, Rome,London & Liverpool. No problem at all. I did the regional data so it’s covers all those location and more. I used 10-15 GB as I searched and navigated everything and used the hotel and restaurant wifi when I could to save.
