We have T mobile in US.
We will be traveling through Slovenia then Italy and Israel over 2+ months. Fonus, I've heard, covers these areas.
Has anyone had experience with Fonus?
Thanks.

Never heard of Fonus. We’ve used Airalo the last 3 years. They’ve been very dependable and the connections have always been excellent. They have global eSIMs for data/texts/calls with very competitive prices. I Airalo global eSIM
We have T-Mobile as well and I’ll tell you, if you’re thinking about it, their international packages are not worth it and the connections are terrible. The worst of it all is that your phone has to be on roaming and you’ll get those charges as well. You don’t get that with the eSIM .

With Fonus, I'll have one eSIM for your entire trip Slovenia to Israel, unlimited data, a dedicated telephone number from which I can call any restaurant, guide, or hotel in Europe or Israel directly from a real number.
With Airalo I will have to manage 2 sims, one for EU and one for Israel. $100-120 for limited data and get no global number for phone or SMS.
I can still still get T-Mobile texts over Wi-Fi for the cost of $90 for 3 months.
Your thoughts?

I'd recommend visiting esimdb.com to look at the broad range of eSIM options that are available. I'd bet you can find a single one you can use both in Italy and in Israel.
For the record, I've never heard of Fonus. And unfortunately I can't remember what eSIM I used last summer in Italy. It was cheap, I certainly remember that part.
