You explained things very clearly, step by step and were very attentive to any concerns your viewers might have. I also liked that you explained what to do AFTER the esim was installed. I will definitely watch again as we get closer to our departure. Thank you!

Brian states that eSIM are “easier” but it is more than that. The ability to activate the eSIM while still in one’s home area and then to choose it once at one’s destination is so much better than having to buy a physical SIM at one’s destination and then try to install and activate it without using expensive roaming data with one’s native service. The last time I did that I was sitting outside a SBUX in the rain (inside was closed due to COVID) and had to use their wifi, which was spotty because I was outside the store, trying to activate my SIM.

Hello thank you for your video it was great. I feel a lot better about buying Airalo esim now and was constantly doing google research about which was the better company to go with. I have one question download speed how was this during your past travels? Is speed important when using data, I mean I'm not watching a movie lol

@briansteph Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for checking out the video - super happy to hear that it was helpful to you! That's a great question about the DL speed. I can only recall having a slower connection once or twice, and it was when we were traveling between cities (such as, on a train in the middle of a countryside rather than in a city center). That makes sense though, because your phone is using Airalo to connect to the local carriers in any given place, and most carriers do have spots within their coverage areas that aren't as strong of a signal, or maybe even are a "dead zone". i know this is true for me at home here in the US with Verizon...every now and again, i'll be somewhere where my signal isn't all that strong. That said, I personally didn't experience a time where the connection was so slow that I was unable to complete a task I wanted to complete. But as I mentioned, none of what I was doing was extremely data-heavy (mostly using Google Maps and the internet to look things up). Slower speeds could impact making a call through FaceTime, but that would be true if you were a local in whatever area you were in on the same carrier. Ultimately, it'll be dependent on the carriers that Airalo is connecting you to and not Airalo itself that determines your speeds. If you are mostly in populated areas, you should have sufficient speed...if you are in less populated areas, you may have slower speeds at times, just as you would expect may happen with your native mobile carrier. Again, I never had a problem, and like you said, I wasn't streaming movies or anything either. Europe also has a ton of public WiFi that is typically pretty solid, so I used that every so often as well to save on the data i was using with Airalo. Hopefully that helps answer your question - thanks for asking!

@uvids2010 10 ай бұрын

I watched six KZfaq videos about buying/installing/activating the Airalo app. I also watched all of the Airalo on-line videos about their app. I found the Airalo videos far too detailed and therefore very confusing. The other KZfaq videos weren't much better but your video was extremely helpful and much easier to follow through with your screenshots. Great job. I've used Airalo successfully in New Zealand and Australia and I'll be trying it in Europe next. I've seen comments about it not working well in some countries (specifically Japan). Has anyone had any experience with Airalo in Japan?

You should have touched on using the data sim with iMessage. There is a whole lot to do to make iMessage work and then once you are done with the data sim switching it back. also turning off your primary line removes your number from iMessage and FaceTime and causes more heartache than it is worth. just turn off data roaming.

@briansteph Жыл бұрын

fair points! i certainly should have mentioned switching the sims back since i've had a few questions about that already. And yes, iMessage removes your number. I supposed we have always used our Apple Id emails via iMessage when we are using it internationally. Tried to include as much as possible, but knew i couldn't remember or have time to include everything, so thanks for chiming in!

Bryan, perhaps you can hear me applauding you for making this great video! You are clear; concise; understandable; and, Give a marvelous presentation! 19:02 These remarks are made by me a (Male)senior Citizen, who has an ,Apple 13-Pro. I would really appreciate if you would notify me if you plan to make anymore videos.

Hi Nemo - thank you so very much for the generous compliment! There are many more videos in the works. My wife and I will be uploading some highlight reels from our recent trip to Europe, along with separate videos detailing some of our favorite locations and spots that we recommend. Plenty of other videos planned related to travel and planning for travel as well! I actually released a video since this one came out that shows how I find unique locations when planning for a trip that you may also enjoy...let me know if you get a chance to watch 🙂 Subscribing to the channel and enabling the notification bell should alert you of any future videos too! Hope you enjoy them 😀

Silly question… but do you have to take your phone OFF airplane mode in order for the e-sim to work ?

@briansteph 9 ай бұрын

You do! If airplane mode is on, it disables the cellular function of your phone, which is needed for Airalo to access the cell towers. Disabling the primary SIM will prevent international charges while the cellular function remains on. So, turn airplane mode OFF once you land at your destination!
