Buying a SIM Card at the Airport: Worth It?
Airport SIM kiosks are convenient but rarely the cheapest option in the country.
- Airport prices run 20 to 50 percent higher
- Setup is done for you in about five minutes
- Downtown stores offer better data allowances
- Some airports bundle tourist perks like transport
If you need data the moment you land, pay the small premium; otherwise wait for a city store.
Compare the kiosk price with a downtown store on your phone before you commit at the arrivals hall.
