Yep - exactly what I thought. T-Mobile pretty decent for international. I get free 2G (woo woo - 128kb) ... but can buy a 15GB LTE with unlimited calling for 30 days for $50.
Or just get a temporary sim card in Europe and save a bundle.
@krzykat Very much this. Sim cards and calling rates almost anywhere there will be pennies on the dollar vs even great roaming rates.
Just Smart shop. I have a Google Pixel phone and it supports eSim. Easy breezy SIM purchase and activation. For recent travel, I bought a data only eSIM and used my PBX. I would never buy a plan based on it's international roaming, unless it is a total bargain. I shop eSim providers every time I travel as prices vary a lot.
I think you mean calls are to US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico. Once in far enough into Mexico, you lose the signal from the US towers, and there is no more signal for the phone to connect to using CDMA
Depending on the phone, that is correct. On my Pixel, when you have both SIM and ESIM, you have to select which you want to be active for data. On some phones, you have to select one as default and the other as failover. Most phones let you toggle from the Settings > Networks screen. At one point, I had T-Mobile on my ESIM and Visible on the physical SIM. I could get a call on either SIM but had to set a primary for outbound calls.
Visible WiFi calling works in Canada, as we were there last October and had service over WiFi calling..

Worked for me with Galaxy Note20 5G. Didn't seem to mind the SIM card still being place. In fact, it said it had to be even though I had removed it. The trick as you noted was to enter the IMEI of the eSIM even though it prompts for the "phone's IMEI." Also need to be sure you have the latest Visible app on the phone but no need to remove it and reinstall it. Simply updated it in place.
Yep. That is what messed mine up. They were able to change the request to the correct IMEI. Had I entered the eSIM IMEI, I would have not had an issue. They really need to update the app to ask for the eSIM IMEI in order to prevent confusion.
As long as it has internet and Wi-Fi connection, it functions just as a normal cell phone.
Please report back.
I've used it in Mexico, and long as I had Wi-Fi/internet access. it functions just like normal. I don't think it works in emergencies and the signal indicator it could not connect to anything.
Italy in a couple weeks - will report
