Reply to comment by Rough-Jackfruit2306 in Travelling to Boston from France for a few weeks and in of advice regarding cellphone usage by Volkar

That is bad advice. $10/day is really expensive, especially for 3 weeks of travel. Those plans work on the assumption you don’t know better.

You can do $10/week in many cases.

You should never have to buy a SIM at the airport, or anywhere really. Instead, download an e-SIM, tons of different apps for it. Then just switch in your settings. Pretty much every phone made since 2018 is compatible with it. And most folks have phones that are less than 5 years old.

My iPhone 8 was manufactured pre-2018 and I'm not keen on downloading random apps, but I suppose this might work better for OP. You're right most people aren't using antique phones like me.
