We’ll be in Italy for 10 days in the autumn. My phone provider (Tello) offers WiFi in Europe, but I don’t want to rely totally on WiFi. The Tello device can't be unlocked for Europe, as I understand it.
Can I buy an unlocked smartphone and install an e-sim card for Europe, before taking off? If so, how?
I think we'd chiefly be using it for WhatsApp, QR code needs -- less so for photos and phone calls.
I( know there’s rental, but it sounds complicated—I’d rather spend the $$$, even knowing that afterwards, the phone would just be an unused spare.)
As you can tell, I’m not an advanced user of technology, so simple answers and approaches would be great. Thanks, community!
