Anyone used Jethro Mobile for US calling/data

[ottawamom]

Heading to Disneyland in May. I'm with a prepaid provider in Canada so no US roaming for me since they shut down the 3G networks. I have been researching alternatives to ROAM (miss their service) and found Jethro Mobile. Various data options (all 5G on T-Mobile) and allow calls back to Canada. Has anyone here used them before?

For those who have been to Disneyland how much data did you use. I'm not planning on getting Genie+ but I will be checking wait times on anothe app.

lol,,,not too seasoned,,,I used to use ROAM,,,then just roam from home,,,and in Hawaii I used T Mobile,,,but that does not let you call Canada that I recall ,,,they might have one that does. T-Mobile did work great for what we needed and just used Whatsapp to call Canada with.
We are heading down in March and still not sure which one I will use then,,,,sorry not much help

Last time we went to the US I bought a travel SIM card off Amazon, worked great! I’m going to do that from now on!

I’m with PM, and I use Airalo eSIM while in the US. Really cheap. I don’t need calling, and if I do, I just add the phone only thru PM.

Unfortunately my phone doesn't support an eSIM otherwise I would give them a shot.

Would you mind providing a link for that? I might need to get that for my parents since they tend to use older Android phones.

I've used Airalo three times now, and it really is great if you have eSIM. Used it mostly for Waze and Facebook but my wife also hotspotted off me with no issues.

This is just one of their options on Amazon. You can get various amounts of data and length of use.

I think they also mention which phones will work. I checked on T-mobile to make sure my phone was ok.
