Should You Get A Local SIM Or Rely On Roaming?

Premium international roaming often suffices; eSIMs are easy backups.

Major carriers offer strong 4G/5G in cities and resorts, with some patchiness in rural valleys and coastal cliffs. If you need local data, eSIMs from reputable providers activate instantly; avoid kiosk sales requiring passports unless necessary.

Hotels and cars usually provide Wi-Fi; confirm data needs for navigation in remote areas.
