Is there an eSIM company that to multiple countries or at least internationally?

I got the new iPhone and my old iPhone has been locked by t-mobile (neither apple or t-mobile will do anything about it). Its been hell; and i don’t want that to happen to my new phone. I only travel between USA and EU countries. Any recommendations?

p.s. I know you can pay someone to unlock your phone but then I would have to pay for that 8 times a year

Many thanks πŸ™

What?

I didn't think any actually did that still.

Is it fully paid off?

what do you mean by "esim company for multiple countries"? Like a phone carrier that covers more countries?

T-mobile has an okay one.

Airalo. I've used it in 10 countries, no problems ever.

Piggybacking on this as, whats the best e-sim for SE Asia? Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam in particular.

If you're looking to have data + an actual phone number (VoIP though so no 2FA) with calls and texts included in the countries you're in, then Fonus Mobile is what you're looking for.

P.S. Avoid Airalo even if all you need is data, waste of money. Plenty of other data eSIM providers out there that offer much better value for your money.

I don't know if this helps you but I have Google Fi and have been to other countries outside the US and it worked normally (with e SIM) for calls and data
