Once APN was configured, I had enough data for a 3 week trip.

For this verizon roaming phone, the phone almost always reported "4G" and "LTE" with fast data speeds.

The data sim card worked for most of the countries I visited ( Netherland, Germany, France etc)

It was not as fast as cell data in the U.S., but it allowed her to use Facebook messenger to keep in touch with us the whole trip and she could use the phone for an emergency.

More than enough data and texts for a trip

I was planning on having it to work remotely like I have been in Asia for 18 months, this has been the worst data sim card ever

If that didn't succeed, if I restarted the phone, data would work again.
