No buy directly from the phone carrier as they have longer and cheaper plans airalo is expensive vs the other esim company ESIM plus but go with Orange Telecom.

Around 8 euros a month for 5-10 gb data across EU.

If not price out local plans here.

Long-term international travelers know that T Mobile or Google Fi are your picks for the best price and coverage.

No sims necessary.

You are very welcome.

Everyone in Europe uses WhatsApp so voice / sms isn’t really needed.

I used Airalo and it was awesome.

Otherwise tell your daughter to get a local sim card once she arrives.
