Anyone use a UK SIM for tethering in EU?
The usual answer to this is "Buy a local SIM" so if we put that on the back burner for a moment... All the UK SIM-only deals I can find, even unlimited data, always have a fairly low limit set for data/tethering while roaming in the EU. After a couple of Zoom calls abroad they are struggling, and I need to be tethered to a…

Lebara top ups
