Traveled to UK and EU for Tomorrowland
Traveled to UK and EU from USA for a few days for Tomorrowland. My regular USA carrier is T-Mobile that includes ‘256KB data abroad’ - it is definitely nice to have, but just not fast enough nowadays. Nope, did NOT want to pay T-Mobile the draconian rates for 15GB or 30GB ‘fast pass’ they offered. Then, I remembered about the great company I used while in Japan (3 years prior) called Ubigi! (Ubigi is owned by NTT DoCoMo, a very reputable Japanese company, which gives it coverage advantages across rural areas and transport lines) The reason I chose Ubigi was that they are known to use *premium partners* to achieve better network performance! Sure enough Ubigi had “7 days Unlimited” plan for EUROPE! While standing in line before passport control in Brussels, I purchased the plan, installed the eSIM using instructions provided in the email, and had data plan up and running - all in less than 5 minutes! Loved it! ‘Personal hotspot’ (tethering) worked flawlessly as well!!!
