Has anyone used and eSIM card in their US iPhone while traveling in Europe3 of recent date. We'll be in Spain and Italy in April and each have an iPhone, mine in an IPhone SE 2nd gen, hers is an iPhone 11. We need phone service while abroad, to call/text to the US and to talk/text to confirm travel logistics within Spain and Italy. We've considered WhatsApp, but concerned about unknown WiFi. That is why we're looking at the eSIM card.
First, I suppose I should ask if our devices will even accept an eSIM [and, of course, will it function]? I done some research and get differing information about our phones abilty to access the eSIM.
Second, if the devices will work, what experiences as anyone had on their US iPhone while in Europe? By the way, we're on a Consumer Cellular plan and they don't, as of now, offer a "travel plan". My wife has been considering getting a later generation iPhone, maybe an 11 Pro, Would this accept the eSIM and would it be worth the upgrade,
Oh yes, permit me to note we still use or phone for talking and texting both to the US and within Europe, and for some, but not a lot, of pictures.
We've not used whats app
