Roaming on your home carrier in this country gets expensive fast. A local SIM means broken Apple Wallet, hunting kiosks at the airport, and 30 minutes lost to a registration form. eSIM activates in the time it takes to find your hotel.
Pocket WiFi, roaming and airport SIM cards all work — here's how they stack up against an eSIM.
| Telekonek eSIM | Pocket WiFi | Roaming | Airport SIM | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Scan a QR code before you fly | Reserve, then collect and return a device | Already on your home plan | Queue at a kiosk after you land |
| Ready when you land | Yes — connects on arrival | Only after pick-up | Yes | After you find a counter |
| Keep your number | Yes | Yes | Yes | No — you swap out your SIM |
| Extra device to carry | No | Yes — a hotspot to charge | No | No |
| Typical cost | Low, prepaid up front | Daily rental, often a deposit | Usually the most expensive | Varies, often paid in cash |
| Multiple travelers | One eSIM each | Share one hotspot | Charged per line | One SIM each |
