Long Stays and Monthly Plans
Most travel eSIMs are built around a seven or thirty day window, which is wrong for a three-month sabbatical, a semester abroad or a slow winter somewhere warm. The providers here sell plans measured in months, renewable subscriptions, or data that simply never expires, so you are not rebuying a profile every few weeks. Some also give you a stable number for the whole stay. Watch for two things: whether the plan renews automatically or dies silently, and whether the provider enforces a roaming limit that boots you off a network after ninety days. Both are named in every listing where they apply.
