Google and Apple have removed the eSIM apps Airalo and Holafly from their app stores following orders from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to curb cyber fraud. The DoT has also instructed internet service providers and telecom companies to block the websites of these apps
OP: Does Vodafone even offer a monthly prepaid SIM? only thing I have seen are disposable SIMs, 10gb data then through away and buy a new one. Not too sure about UK, but my Vodafone SIM from Spain worked for data in France.
I keep my US T-Mobile on eSIM, and have one SIM slot for physical card...
As far as range? eSIM would be the same as a physical SIM card.
Adding money or data to a card would depend on the company.
I seem to remember trying to create the Vodafone Portugal account online and it might have been in Portuguese, it's been a while. I usually just use the SIM till it...
Would be nice to have a SIM that could be topped in Portugal and Spain. I can access Vodafone Portugal online to top from Spain?
Vodafone used to be 20gb for 20€, in October '23 was 25€ for 10gb. It's fine, could be a bit tight if wanting to do video calls etc.
I may walk this year with...
We have 15kg checked on Vueling, 2 packs about 10kg, one 24L and one 30L.
We want to combine if possible. Thinking a cheap duffle bag. Anyone know a place to get one?
just found out my friend walking with me has an iPhone 14 and dual eSIM, no physical SIM card slot.
Doesn't have to be Vodafone, I have head great luck with them. would like to get it done at the airport.
as standby there is a chance we may have to fly to CDG, then OPO, we will see.
glad to...
If you can't get custom orthotics in time, try out a pair of Currex insoles, I use the high ones.
I have walked in the La Sportiva Wildcats, they were fine, although I have never had a blister, but need a high drop 8-12mm for a bursitis issue.
This time for the early Oct walk I may try on...
searching for ultralightweight flip-flops, no luck yet. all seem to be a bit thick and heavy.
I used to carry a 7.9oz/223g pair of Birkenstock EVA slides, they take up too much room and really not needed. my walking shoes are comfortable.
I'll have to try on the Cascadia 17 before October walk, I walked in the 16 and no issues. I wonder if the toe box is as roomy on the 17?
Speedgoat 5 was too tight in toe box for me even the wide one! I can't do zero drop so Altra out.
these dry fast.
edit: didn't realize how expensive. I may try the Craighoppers since my L are too large now.

I bought an Anker 5200mAh a couple years ago and haven't needed to use it last couple walks. still nice to have one along just in case.
I didn't realize at 113g weighs the same as the Nitecore 10000mAh. Nitecore used to make a 5000mAh, I guess not enough for through hikers. Always looking for...
