TL;DR

  • Local USIM: Often cheapest for heavy/long stays; buy at airport or store; may require removing home SIM (lose home number on that device).
  • eSIM: Install before departure, keep home number (dual SIM), no physical card; often good balance of cost and convenience.
  • Short trip, want home number → eSIM. Long stay, heavy data → compare eSIM (large plan) vs local USIM.
