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!
The major us carriers have them.
But they are expensive (or throttled like t mobile is).
So it might be some “pick your poison”.
Maybe even just a cheap global like TMobile or even Google Fi (they will eventually shut off your international data but it will still do phone and text good for bank 2fa) as a consistent one and then get local stuff.
In a lot of the world mobile internet is very cheap, even with tourist sims.
Almost everywhere will be cheaper than the US.
