Cheapest eSIM

[Teddy_Bear]

Leaving for Orlando tomorrow evening and wondering where I can purchase the cheapest e sim?

Has anyone heard of visable free trial?

Yes here is the link: https://www.visible.com/free-trial Visible is a Pre-Paid MVNO that runs on the Verizon Network. Do you have a Verizon compatible device that support eSIM?

Hmmm I have an iPhone

If your phone is unlocked and eSIM-capable, you can use it with any carrier that also supports eSIM. The brand of the phone doesn’t matter—only whether it supports eSIM.

If your phone is locked to a carrier, you’ll need to have it unlocked before switching. The lock is tied to the carrier, not the network, so it doesn’t matter if your current carrier uses the Verizon network or not.

Airalo is great! I’ve used it often.

Piggybacking off this, I'm planning to use Airalo on a Euro trip in a couple months. Do you activate before you leave home or after you land?

Not exactly. To use the Verizon Network (Visible) your device needs to be compatible. You need to check the IMEI. Try using this link: https://www.visible.com/shop/compatibility Yes, even in 2025 not all devices will be compatible.

If your phone is locked to a carrier, you’ll need to have it unlocked before switching.

Yes this a minimum requirement.

You can do either since you are able to install it, and at another time Activate it. It is all done using the Airalo app.

You have (3) options (Local eSIM, Regional eSIM, or Global eSIM). Download the Airalo app to purchase, manage, and top up your eSIMs anytime, anywhere.
