Does anyone have a recommendation for a second provider just for 4/5G data? I’m currently on Verizon for my primary but need a backup in some spotty areas. Needs to be on ESIM too.
 
I didn’t realize carriers offered data only plans for phones. Or do you sign up for a tablet plan and set up your phone as the “tablet”?
 
Alternatively, you can use a full service sim as backup and just not use the phone/sms functionality.

I've been on AT&T and T-Mobile for the majority of the year. Been using Visible as backup sim. You could use Mint, or at&T prepaid for backup
