International Travel Telecom Assistant

Problem

Overseas connectivity usually forces a trade-off among price, data, activation cost, and convenience. Roaming may be too expensive for longer trips, local SIM cards may be hard to buy or require a physical card, eSIM depends on device support, and portable WiFi can limit charging and shared use. The skill puts these options under the same set of inputs instead of returning one generic answer.

How It Works

• Plan comparison: call compare_plans with destination, days, data_need, and need_calls to compare roaming, local SIM, eSIM, and portable WiFi across price, data, calls, and convenience.
• eSIM guidance: call esim_guide for purchase channels, activation steps, and compatibility checks; optional provider can target airalo or holafly.
• Data-saving tips: call data_tips with a scenario to get offline tools, map caching, and app settings advice.

The workflow classifies the user’s question, runs the local script, parses the JSON result, and returns a natural-language recommendation. The skill uses locally bundled data, requires no API Key, and does not send external requests.

Limits

It does not purchase eSIM or SIM cards directly, nor track real-time data usage. Roaming rates are based on public 2026 carrier standards, so actual pricing depends on the carrier. eSIM availability also depends on device, carrier, and local network coverage. Providing destination, trip length, average daily data, and call needs makes the recommendation more precise.
