Before eSIM, tmobile global data and text in 150 countries was the dream for my 5x trips a year. Now I just pop into the Eu and pick up a prepaid month European esim and spend €20+€15 additional month vs the $200 a year I was spending. Italy even has a deal in the summer now for €15 for 30 days.

That's why I spent 2k to import an iPhone from Canada instead of buying one locally. I travel to Costa Rica often and I keep my tmobile esim for most other tasks, but I can pick up a sim for $5 and that will last me most of my trip as long as I'm smart with my data usage.
