I've just had a look at that. $110.00 (£80 odd) for 90 x days.To use this service i think you have to order your sim card. I think they come from Canada.
Then you buy and assign to that sim card a "Data Package" of your choice.
I also think that you get an "American" phone number.
I am not using this service so have no knowledge of how good or bad or how expensive it is.
I merely show the link for your info.

At the moment the best choice is a SKY sim or two. We've got three, two in our smartphones and one in the Huawei mifi. That way we can move data around as needed via the piggybank. I've built up 120Gb in the piggybank which will be more than enough for tv and Internet use.
Are you using a phone sim in your mifi?
Does that mean that Sky don't have a data cap when roaming in the EU or what the other providers call a "fair usage policy"
Have looked into https://www.wraptel.com/ and £26 for 30 days unlimited data throughout Europe seems good, as no buying different sims, no worries about time spent anywhere, no data limitsTo use this service i think you have to order your sim card. I think they come from Canada.

Find out about our Mobile roaming in the EU & beyond. When using mobile abroad the minutes, texts & data come out of your monthly allowance. All iD handsets and SIM deals come with 4G as standard, data rollover so you never waste a byte, EU roaming, and datacaps so you never pay extra charges.
That was last year and since then it looks like they've changed it as this seems to imply that you can only do the above if you have a roaming passport.
I think you're misreading that. There is a full stop and then it goes onto talk about the passport for outside europe. I used 55gb in spain last month and still clocking them up.That was last year and since then it looks like they've changed it as this seems to imply that you can only do the above if you have a roaming passport.

Warning to every Vodafone, O2, EE, Sky Mobile and Three customer over charges
People may have to shell out extra money to use their phone while on holiday.www.dailyrecord.co.uk
Yes we've got three identical sims from Sky on our single account. All three show up in the "Manage Piggybank" part of the account. The downside of course is that if the O2 Sky signal is poor then we don't have an alternative sim but I've got a SMARTY account as a back up if needed.
I hope so but it's under the heading of Roaming Passports, for the EU/EEA you need the standard one, but if you are outside you need the Passport Plus, that's how I read it. The below is on their website and clearly states you can use your package WITH a roaming passport, there is no mention of being able to do this without one:
Just spoken to a real person at Sky - Yes a real person!
The conditions are automatically applied when you use your phone in that country.Just had a look at Tescomobile, they do have a fair use policy but no data restrictions, basically majority of use over a 4 month rolling period must be UK based. They give you a 2 weeks leeway as well so 10 weeks ish, this fits in well for us as 8 to 10 weeks is the max we usually go away for.
You 're reading it wrong. It says that eu roaming is included and then it has a full stop. THEN it says IF you're roaming outside Europe THEN you need the passport. Sorry for the caps but you're not paying attention
only to uk sims .
No cap with a local sim - you get all the gbs you pay for. By the way, our dutch neighbours on bonterra park tell us that their Dutch contract sim is also capped at 15gb in France and Spain. Seems the media like to portray capping as a consequence of brexit but in reality a lot of EU countries are also applying it.
I believe there is a blanket ban on roaming charges across EU countries. It applied to the UK pre Brexit. So the 100 gb should be good in Portugal.
No it wasnt actually. Most networks said they would retain roaming but many have subsequently brought in fair use policies. This is entirely in line with what happens in the EU. her is an extract of the EU regulation, this is the emerging one but pretty sure the existing which expires this June is the same.

That appears to try to stop you buying a contract in Albania when living in France rather than roaming as UK motorhomers did.No it wasnt actually.

What will happen with the ‘fair use' policies?
Operators will still be able to apply a ‘fair use' policy. The rules on the ‘fair use' policy remain the same. This means that if a person is traveling to another EU country periodically, then this person can use roaming. If a person moved to live in another EU country, then it is better to move to a local contract, as permanent roaming is no longer considered as ‘fair use'.

That is what they consider to be fair usage - people going on holiday. What we used to get away with was mostly because UK operators let us. They could have still imposed fair usage limitations while we were EU members. There are long termers here from other EU countries who can't use data like we used to.
