Best data sims for EU
Looking for some recommendations for data only sims to use in the EU please.
- Planning to put it in a MiFi device, so it needs to be hotspot compatible.
- Could be an e-sim, but given that e-sim compatible MiFi devices are a far bit more expensive, a physical sim would be better.
- Ideally 30 + Gb per month, with the option to add on extra rather pay extortionate over package charges
- Spain will our first destination, so could pick one up there, but would rather be able to order one at home to save hassle and know that we have one. Especially as we're coming in by ferry rather than to an airport (where it's usually easy to pick up a local sim)
- Only for a month and a bit so either PAYG or a rolling one month contract.
Advice greatly appreciated

Check the small print, but both ID mobile a d Lebara allow eu roaming with no fees up to 30gb data. Their sims are about £12 a month at that level.

Lebara has 50GB/month for £2.50/month (of which only 30GB available outside of UK in EU). Just buy two or three SIM cards (different email addresses) if you might need more then 30GB a month then cancel them when you're back to the UK

Thank you @NanookOfTheNorth . Had thought that Lebara looked good too, but hadn't though of that multiple sim card trick!

I’ve used ID Mobile within the EU a few times and they’ve been great. They’re my only sim back home too. I’ve been with them maybe 2 years now and the price has remained £8 for 50GB data (effectively unlimited for me) and unlimited calls and texts.
I have seen lots of ads for Honest Mobile who offer unlimited roaming (data only) in a lot of countries for £10 for a month. I plan to try these at the end of the year when I go to Costa Rica. Probably worth at least considering for the EU if your network doesn’t offer EU roaming.
