it runs on Verizon’s network. I’m sure it’s fine. Verizon was perfectly good for me when I went to Alaska for work.

Traveling to Paris and England for 10 days this summer. Trying to decide between getting an Orange Holiday SIM (€40) or O2 through eSIM.net (Ł25). Anyone have experience with either as a tourist?

maybe for the larger cities but not for the inside cruising passage and stops

Isn't GCI better for Alaska?

There are some ESim providers that would support both att+GCI , let me find the list.

I just used the 20GB €40 Orange Holiday plan as an eSIM on my trip a couple weeks ago. It worked great while in London and on a side trip up to Bletchley Park. Also worked fine while in the Berlin and Krakow areas. My only experience with it in France was while on a Eurostar from Brussels (where it worked fine) to London. I'd assume since they're including a French phone number it'll work without problems in Paris.

If you don't need unlimited data, eSIM.net has cheaper O2 SIMs with EU roaming as well. The Orange holiday SIM is great but way overpriced.

There's also the Czech O2 eSIM that Airalo and others sell. It's a real voice/data SIM with 10GB of data and includes EU and UK roaming. Airalo gets $22 for it.

The Airalo Eurolink regional esim covers France and England. $13 for 3GB, or $20 for 5GB. But it’s data only.

If you're visiting Paris first, I highly suggest the Free.fr 20 EUR plan, which roams across Europe and a bunch of other countries. I've used this plan across Europe, as well as in Canada, Australia, UK, etc. Roams on Vodafone, but you can MNS to EE 5G if you like.

Free is great, but you have to pay € 10 for the SIM and be careful only to sign up for one month--the default is a month-to-month plan that you have to cancel by registered letter.

Send registered mail to their office in Paris, the most French way to cancel anything.

You can also cancel by porting out your number to any voip service, and once the port completes your free.fr service terminates.

Esim.net used to have PAYG with att/GCI, but I can't find it anymore.

Choose between our globally enabled Pay As You Go eSIM or a Data-Only eSIM for a specific region around the world

I used Ubigi for my Japan trip and it worked very well. I will have another trip to the Netherlands soon. Is it equally good? Or other recommendations?

Buy USA eSIM | Global Store | eSIM.Net

Says AT&T Data only, is this the one?

No. They used to have a truly PAYG esim, and a rate calculator ($/MB for att versus $/MB for GCI).

I guess that's no longer available.
