Esim on mifi (this should work?)

[BOOMEL]

Like most people I ran out of data on my 28gb allowance when in Europe (photos etc). I used a company called holafly and downloaded an unlimited esim for 30 days which was great on my iPhone only however.

However my mororhomewifi (rebadged HuaweI) does not have esim capability. So my thought are:

1. get holafly esim
2. download it onto esim.me card (this enables any non esim compatible phone to become compatible)
3. install card into mifi
4. use in Europe

Alternatively I guess I could look for PAYG EU SIM card?

Thoughts?

Have you thought about popit mobile a uk company that gives you 100gb per month for £25 on a rolling 1 month contract .
No restrictions you can use your full allowance in the EU

Not sure how that can be when there is a European fair use policy?

Tesco mobile ( until the end of the year) and RWG mobile also allow full usage of your allowance whilst roaming.

Will the euro Holafly esim work that way? It doesn't permit data sharing or tethering which essentially is what you would be doing with it in a mifi.

Also went for Popit for the same reasons. I did huge research on this and they are the only company that I could find that does not apply a fair usage policy when in Europe. Some of them have a hellishly complicated formula, while some have a flat percentage. Popit have none of these.

I recently used the RWG ‘Global’ data SIM - £28 p/m for 200gb - in France, Italy, Greece and Crete. Although it wasn’t the fastest in some areas it never failed to be connected to a network, including in the remote mountains of Crete. I received an email from them when I’d used 50% of the allowance, which was about 2/3rds into the first month away.
