No, free international roaming in Kenya is not a standard feature of EU, UK, or US mobile plans. The 'Roam Like At Home' policy is confined to the European Economic Area, meaning EU and UK SIM cards will incur substantial international roaming charges when used in Kenya. For US mobile plans, Kenya is categorized as an international roaming destination, which typically requires purchasing expensive add-on packages or paying exorbitant pay-per-use rates for data. CoreESIM offers a more predictable and economical solution for data connectivity in Kenya, bypassing the high costs associated with traditional international roaming.
