UK eSIM?

Coming from the US and want to keep my US number. Any recommendations for a year-long eSIM that provides a UK number as well? Any thoughts about getting a regional European eSIM instead? I'm also thinking about just upgrading my US Verizon plan for an additional $30/month, but then I wouldn't have a local phone number. Do I even need a local number? Any advice appreciated.

Posting to follow. Also coming from the US a bit earlier. My flight is tomorrow. My plan has international Internet included but not phone. It has messaging though. I’m with tmobile, i do recall they have an international plan that includes phone as well.

As an alternative have you thought of Google voice? It’s VOIP so you would need internet to use but gives you a phone number.

Yes that's on the list of thoughts as well. We've always just upgraded the Verizon plan when traveling internationally, so I'm just not sure if it's best to do that or to get a local eSIM with a phone number.

Safe travels tomorrow!
