Hey everyone! I’ve been doing some research on this and I have more questions than answers now, so hoping for some help!
My boyfriend and I currently live in the US (we have a T-Mobile Magenta Max plan) but we’re retiring next year and planning to spend the next 5-10 years traveling abroad (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America). I might be hunting for something that doesn’t exist, but I’m looking for a single phone plan that would work on all these continents without me having to arrange for a local eSIM in every country.
I don’t know how much regular access to WiFi we’ll have so something like Airalo might be an issue given the very limited data thresholds.
Curious to hear any suggestions you might have!
T-mobile Magenta Max with a lot of strategic data management. I will augment this with cheaper local sims when I will be in an area for a month or two.
I haven’t broken their data rule in a long time so I am not sure how T-mobile handles violators these days. In the last year I seem to stop back in the US just as T-mobile sends my first warning. I make sure to download tons of movies and music to my phone when I land to offset their 50% data rule for the next 3 months.
I am not exactly happy with this setup but haven’t found a good time to test an alternative.
