Hey. This season we have 2 trips planned, one to Germany and another to Spain to officiate continental-level American football games. The problem is that my usual carrier charges me completely outrageous roaming rates, like 15 euros a day just to get decent data. A fellow referee who travels a lot to European tournaments told me about an eSIM for traveling in Europe a virtual SIM card that you can activate right on your phone without having to hunt for a store at the airport when you arrive. I’m interested, but I don’t have much information on how it actually works, whether all carriers are covered in the countries where the league plays, and especially whether the rates are really affordable for about ten days. Has anyone here used this for this kind of trip?

Have a look at apps such as Airalo, Nomad and Saily. These are what I use when travelling for work outside countries where my contract provides for roaming. They all offer European or EU eSIMs as well as country-specific eSIMs.
