True, I understand the time trade off aspect of savings. I think the time+quality of airline combo kills the deal from a value perspective…

Horrible airline and what looks like a stop over (didn't see any direct) turning a ~9 hour flight into a ~17+ hour journey. No thank you.

Jan - early March for snow and late March for Hanami.

Thanks for the heads up. They’ve been flawless with my phone, haven’t tried connecting them to my PC.

This fits firmly in the category of "Data Travel Sim". What this product does is give you an e-sim that will automatically connect to the…

I'm a fanboy. FYI, I would mention in the subject or description that this is only for first time purchases. I got excited and then…

I've messed with a number of travel sim providers. Roamless is my primary now, I don't even bother going elsewhere.

Many travel sims give you a limited time to use your credit / data and then it expires. Roamless let's you keep a bank or credit…

New users only?

I'm surprised to hear you call them mediocre. Would be curious about your experience because I have found them the most consistent on…

Absolutely

This is me exactly. Was trying to decide if I should remove the points of failure by running direct. Decision made, thank you.
