• Before buying an eSIM or physical SIM, ensure that your phone is UNLOCKED for different providers. If you bought your phone from a carrier through their yearly plans, checking this allowance would be wise.
• 90%  of the countries require travel documents (passport or ID) when registering SIM cards. Be prepared to provide the necessary documentation.
• Always ensure your SIM card is working before leaving the store.
• Keep in mind that some stores only accept cash or certain credit cards. You might need to change currency at the airport, which is not preferable due to the high commissions.
• Phones use three different sizes of SIM cards. Be sure that the stores provide you with 3-in-1 SIM cards.
