Is the Airalo Worth It?

Best eSIM overall. Airalo is the one to buy if you want it to simply work in whatever country you land in next, and its dual-network roaming saved it on the rural test. You pay a little over the cheapest for that.

Airalo Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Attached to T-Mobile in the city and AT&T on the rural road, so it held a signal everywhere we tested
  • Installed and online in under three minutes
  • Regional and global bundles for multi-country trips
  • Top-ups extend the same eSIM instead of installing another
Cons
  • $2.60 per GB — not the cheapest here
  • Data only, no US phone number
  • Support is chat-based with slow first responses

Why it scored 8.5

Airalo is the one to buy if you want it to simply work in whatever country you land in next, and its dual-network roaming saved it on the rural test. You pay a little over the cheapest for that.

Where it loses

Still the right pick for

Most travellers, especially multi-country trips.
