Hello, I'm looking into renting a European Cell Phone from Cellhire. You can rent an iPhone 8 for $79. Has 10gb data and free calls and txt in Europe. They say you can log into your own apple acc and use your own apps. For an extra $20, you can call and get calls from the US. I've tried just getting data eSims before and it's limiting because you can only connect to your personal number through WiFi. I don't like the idea of having to switch SIM cards. Anyone have any experience renting one of their phones? Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forums.
I don’t believe that many people rent cell phones. The lack of responses seems to back that up. Do you happen to have Verizon or ATT as your service provider? From prior forum posts they offer international packages that have data texts and calls. Approximately $100 for a month. That’s not much more than the rental.
Enjoy your trip.
