I just got back from the Palm Springs area and used Airalo. Highly recommended. Easy to setup since it uses an eSIM and it’s all done with their app, cost me $10 US for 10 gigs of data with a sale and a referral code.
I just disabled my Rogers sim for the duration of my trip since well over 99% of my usage is pure data anyways, but my understanding is there is a way to keep your main line active and not incur roaming charges so long as you don’t make or receive any phone calls.
I just loved being able to use my phone totally normally while knowing I wasn’t getting raked for $16 a day or whatever it is Roger’s charges these days, and without having to mess around with swapping physical sims like I’ve done in the past.
Edit: and they have data plans for many countries, not just the US.
