Data rates however are huge for Roamless in both countries at $14.45 per Gb! Compare this to $2.45 per Gb in Europe for example. They also have promotions that can lower this price substantially. My cost per Gb for Europe is currently at $1.14 due to coupon offers.

For my current needs, I see Roamless as a great option for data in some locations such as Europe, Australia, and other popular spots. Additionally, it has value as a voice option for low rates and no credit expiration.
Thanks for the tip! And yeah it's been ridiculous seeing how much data packages cost in some countries. I haven't managed to try different sims around the world aside from the Three UK sim which has free roaming in almost all of Europe (though who knows for how long). Meanwhile in the GCC I always have a Bahraini and Saudi number I haven't been to the other GCC countries in a long time but it's always an ordeal getting cheap connectivity in them. Even when local telecom companies have roaming offers for the GCC they're still super expensive to where even Airalo and others don't have decent regional esims that cover the region for a reasonable cost/GB. Individual country eSims aren't poorly priced though.
