Is it worth buying a sim in the EU to get round the fair use roaming issue?

Unfortunately you only get 13.55Gbytes when in the rest of the EU even if you paid for 100Gbytes in Ireland.

It’s in their Fair Use Policy which they say is:

“Fair usage policy applied to data allowance. The EU data roaming fair usage limits have been calculated in accordance with the guidelines provided by the European Commission – see www.tescomobile.ie/eu-roaming-regulation.”

Stay in Ireland - it’s great!

Yes fully understood that. It’s a bit like buying local sims in Spain etc.

Have found Orange in Spain, and Vodafone inFrance very helpful. Remember to take your passport to the store. They will activate the sim on one of their phones in store then put it into your mifi so you can test it’s working before you pay anything. Amazing deals. Much cheaper than esims or paying ee a daily or monthly add-on rate

Do you go the orange and Vodafone stores, or a reseller?

Does a Leclerc Reglo sim work in Spain as well? If so is it capped?
