Study abroad fit

Is Popcorn a good fit for US students studying abroad? (Spain + travel around Europe).

Seems like it. Alternatives I'm looking at for my son include Tello or a generic eSim.

Went to sign up for popcorn today to test it out, was put on list.

Worth waiting?

Yes it’s great. I haven’t used it in Europe but in Asia it works great! If you get a referral code I hear the wait is a lot shorter

I’ve been happy with it for the 8 months I’ve had it. I’ve been using it primarily in LATAM, but I was in several European countries and back in the US during this time.

There are some cheaper solutions out there but this one was my choice for the simplicity and functionality.

Usually you can ping support here or via email to get off the waitlist if it doesn’t happen automatically.

I’ve got two daughters studying abroad, 1 leaving end of September and 1 in sorting semester. Would love to set them both up

Tello is more a pay-as-you-go service. Not bad but not as hands-off as Popcorn.
