E-Sim Cards
The website link is in my bio / www.esim-on.com. It’s an E-sim which means I didn’t need to buy a physical SIM card (mind blowing), I was connected as I landed, it’s 80% cheaper than roaming, a set amount that can’t go over so no huge surprise bills, no wasting time to try connect & sign-up to wifi spots, it’s SO affordable, and it saves you 30% on your battery! The signal was awesome. It blew my mind, but because Bruce travels a lot for work he uses @esimon360 and taught me.
