     @arri I have an eSIM on a US carrier, which I switched to before landing.

     @arri I knew it was egregiously expensive to roam on in the US when I signed up, I just don't care. 🤷

     @ryanc The worst I've ever seen was when I spent a month in Kenya:

     "Welcome to KENYA. While you're here calls back to the UK will be £2.00 pm. To receive a call it will be £2.00 pm. Texts are 50p to send and free to receive. Data is £7.20/MB"
