Jetpac ranks #4 of 11 in our esim providers testing. keeps whatsapp and maps working after the throttle bites — behind prices that are permanently 'on sale'..
81/100
genuinely thoughtful about what happens after you hit the limit, and impossible to know what it really charges, because every price is a markdown from an invented one.
why people look for an alternative
−every price is a markdown from an inflated list figure
−europe unlimited claims a 56% discount off $150
−carrier partners not named
−coverage beyond the eu and usa not confirmed
stay with Jetpac if throttle terms stated inline on the product page is the thing you care about most — nothing below beats it on that.
