Best data sims for Europe

[PaulW2]

Which are the best (cheap) sim cards to get for roaming in Europe at present?

I've used Popit. It's great that you can 'pause' your account and so on. However, they have now restricted roaming on their standard package and the 'roaming only' package isn't exactly cheap...

How are you getting on with it now you are away? Assuming you are now! Just looking at what to get for our trip in March now we can no longer use IQ Mobile

We've been away 3 weeks and ours working fine. Good 5g signal most places and good speeds.

Using VPN to stream bbc, now, discovery etc.

We use Nord on the firestick and phones/tablets as router doesn't support it. 2gosoftware it's less than 40 quid for a year.

We are currently in France and are using Tesco payg sim and it's working very well for data.

Just bought a Vodafone payg sim. €20 1200 minutes, and 300gb data.

Did you get the sim in Spain and can you tether?

Yes bought in Spain from a phone shop. Currently in my phone and connected to my ipad and firestick.

Tesco wont work in a router other than https://tescocustomer.likewizesupport.com/customer/device/Huawei/E5577/ works ok in a phone

That's incorrect, I have two Huawei mifi's that are not in their compatible devices list and they work fine, they don't work in home routers but they should work in mifi's. In any case you get two weeks to return the sim if you can't get it to work but you must use the Tesco APN not an O2 one.
