In this video we cover the pros and cons of using SIM Cards vs eSIMs as you travel long term. Nomads need their phone to work abroad, and with more and more US phone companies cutting people off after even just a few months of international travel, we need a way to connect our phones to data so we can use Uber and navigation and everything else while we travel though a new destination. SIM Cards and eSIMS can both work, you just have to decide which pros are the most important to you.
