When travelling, there are a number of factors that should be taken into account when deciding whether to opt for an eSIM or physical SIM for your phone.
One of the main advantages of an eSIM is that it can be installed before travelling and does not need to be picked up at an airport kiosk on arrival.
It is also helpful for multi-destination trips as it avoids the need to constantly switch between different SIM cards in different countries.
On the other hand, a physical SIM may be the better choice for anyone staying in one country for a longer period of time, who can benefit from local SIMs’ stronger signals, better prices, and access to additional services.
For anyone wanting a local phone number for various reasons when travelling, this is also likely to be more easily obtained through the use of a local SIM.
The decision is ultimately going to depend on the individual needs of the traveller.
