eSIM vs International Roaming: Real Cost Comparison (Ugoroam Saves You 75–95%+)

Land in Tokyo, New York, or London — your carrier sends the “Welcome” SMS:
“$10–$20 per day, or pay per MB.”
One background refresh and the bill hurts.

Carrier Tricks They Don’t Advertise

  • “Unlimited” roaming = throttled after 2 GB/day in many plans
