It may well be.
When you find out how and where you can do it, tell us.

It would be good to find a company close to the EU ports where we can get to from the UK.
(Rotterdam, Calais, Le Havre, Dieppe, Cherbourg, St Marlo, Roscoff, Santander, Bilbao, Dublin)

Don't bother with Germany, you need a German ID and German address to buy a SIM card in Germany.
Many countries limit SIM cards to non residents to stop 'burner' phones being used for drug dealing.

Why not just buy an esim for the country you intend to visit?

You don’t get much data.

I use Lebara when I need to in France. Just put my passport number and campsite address in the registration and off you go.

Don't understand this lark but i've just spent over a £100 in a week to use my pay as you go Giff Gaff in Switzerland.
I believe uploading photos takes a lot of digga dots.
Will get HRH to look into a sim if we come again.
