IQ Go have introduced a fair useage policy limiting eu data (23 Viewers)

[379inca]

Went to top up my IQ Go sim today with 100 gb of data for £20.00 to discover as of 20th September (yesterday) they have changed the conditions to a fair useage policy. 100gb in uk and only 25gb in Europe. Up until today I had had no notification of this. Am I doing something wrong or have any of you come across this. I find this a little frustrating as they were keen enough to take my annual subscription a few weeks ago.
Looks like I shall be buying a local data sim.

Just read on Facebook that Popit mobile is also restricting roaming use from 1st Oct.

Yeah, bummer!

Just looked at Tesco and they have a deal of £14 for 100Gb (SIMonly) with no EU roaming fees till 2026. But doesn't say when in 2026 and it's a 24 month contract. So at worst that could mean just over 15 months of no EU roaming fees. If it were a 12 month contract I'd take it.

Not sure if they ever invoke them but check that their (as usual, well hidden) fair usage restrictions won't be an issue for your planned usage.

eg. Officially their phone SIMs can't be used in Mifi & must be used in UK before travel (and regularly/primarily thereafter).

Just had an E-mail from popit, restricting roaming from 1st Oct as mentioned above. Time to bin them and look for an alternative

Does anyone use ID Mobile, they seem to have an offer with a limit of 30gb roaming for £12 per month

I have ID mobile unlimited data but 30gb roaming

They can be used in mobile devices including mifi's but not home routers. Mines been working happily since January 2022.

I like eSIMs , but would like to use one in my MiFi, as then I wouldn’t need to leave my phone all the time. Is there a MiFi that accepts eSIMs does anyone know?

Apparently the Teltonika RUTX series routers can be configured for eSiM use. I’ve not tried it myself - as yet! - but it looks to be possible according to Teltonika themselves:
