I seem to be travelling abroad with work these days and although I have a work phone to burn roaming data, I’d prefer to keep personal and work separate.
so who uses what eSIMs and what are cons?
thanks
We use breeze for (primarily) USA trips and they have been great. No cons.
Ive used Saily(owned by NordVPN) which was easy to setup and use. Easy to see how much data you’ve used through the App.
O2 still offer good EU roaming included in most of their offerings
I used to use O2 but recently switched to Giffgaff due to O2 price rises, which gives 5gb EU roaming. Anywhere that’s not covered, I use Saily, which seems to work well, clear and decently priced.
Nomad is another option - worked well for me a few times in the UAE

Up to 25Gb per month, which seems like a lot but we use up ours if we stay away for a month and stream a lot of telly. I’ve used ByteSIM in Greece because it’s the only one I’ve found that uses the Cosmote network which is often the best.
I used an airalo eSIM for an Australia trip this year. It was just a data only package. They are a bit more expensive than a physical sim but it worked seamlessly and you keep your number in case of any important calls or texts. The app clearly shows how much data you have left.

Use your work phone as a mobile hotspot for your personal one.
I've used BNE a few times and been very happy with the service.
Use Mayamobile for US and outside EU. Some O2 and EE roaming seems to miss out some Euro countries, so worth checking coverage
We used Saily in Canada, easy to setup, decent value and never didn't get a signal.
