My ward is pursuing Uni in EU for next few years. As most UK providers have stopped free EU roaming and others have restricted period of use as "63 days" or "120 days" of roaming max, has anyone got an advice which "sim only" to take for long term roaming in EU?

    How long is "long term"?   It would be sensible to buy a SIM in the country in which they will be based. 
    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    Which country? Have they a dual-SIM handset? Other issues aside, bear in mind that local callers will incur international rates to a UK number

    Long term roaming you really need an EU SIM
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
