Hi fellow travelers,
Looking for advise for the best eSIM / Simcard to use for 3 weeks in Switzerland and 1 week in Greece.
I would like to have data and also be able to call / WhatsApp family in USA as well make local calls in Switzerland for restaurant bookings etc.
I am thinking of carrying an older iPhone 13 and get a SIM card put in it at the airport, and use it to make calls and WhatsApp, messages etc.
In the iPhone that I use currently I plan to add an eSIM with enough data to use during the entire trip for hiking, surfing net etc.
I have read that if you change Simcards , you may lose all your contacts etc. That’s why I am thinking of doing this.
My questions :
1. Do you think this is a good plan ?
2. Which eSIM / SIM card you think would best suit my requirements.
3. I have read that one should download the app and get it activated whilst still in USA so that the plan activates as soon as you land. Is this correct t ?
Look forward to your advise / responses.
TIA
