    T-Mobile and Google both do it in 215+ countries for unlimited basic data (not 5G). T-Mo charges between $75/mo for that and $90/mo for 5G data internationally (not unlimited). Google charges $35/mo with unlimited data (doesn’t guarantee 5G). It’s not difficult for them to do or even expensive. Most just choose to make it more expensive.

      Well it’s still a lot more expensive than the $5-$10 I pay on an ad hoc basis for an eSIM when I need one every few months, even if I was traveling almost exclusively 100% in countries where I needed non eu data packages it probably wouldn’t pay off, but it’s good to know it’s out there. I guess if I was in that situation it would probably be worth it just not to think about it (at least the Google price would be).
