Go with jetogo if you want more networks. $1/GB is a decent price for travel esim roaming in London/much of EU

How is jetogo? I'm fond of non-expiring and reliable esims, even if they're a bit more expensive.

It's ok. It says Verizon/T-Mobile, but occasionally it is unable to connect to T-Mobile (but it'll connect to Verizon successfully ). You can have 4 esim profiles sharing same account balance which is a huge plus, but it currently always routes via London

I would look at the other payg esims with regional routing for lower latency too - roamless, nxtlsim, and maybe qrispy. It's possible for roamless to force routing via north america always, (though some users don't have this feature) , while the other two are just based on your location and you cannot force it

So you purchased that Lycomobile UK eSIM from the UK site and it roams on EE?

https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/en/esim/

Yes, Lycamobile UK is a UK MVNO that uses EE only. When you use it, you should get a local UK IP address

Apparently you have to cancel or they will charge you again?

And there's report of a data hack and people getting charges put on their cards for something unrelated.

IIRC (I had a Lyca eSIM last fall and used it for just under a month), I turned off automatic payments and that was sufficient.

Yeah you either have to call in or use their app or website. The latter two requires creating an account and storing a credit card with them.
