It may well be.Is it worth buying a sim in the EU to get round the fair use roaming issue?
You don’t get much data.Why not just buy an esim for the country you intend to visit?

I use EE UK unlimited data (£32 pcm). It has pretty comprehensive UK cover. If you add the EU roaming I get my full (I have checked this with them and have a record of the chat) data allowance in the EU, USA, Australia, plus a couple of others. It is £2.47 a day, If you are going to be there for more than 10 days, you can add a monthly Roam Abroad pass for £25. It worked a treat on our last trip to France and Spain with good service throughout. All done via the EE app. Just remember to cancel the £25 option before the next month starts.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.

It is quite frustrating how initial (pre-B) assurances about the ability to continue roaming turned to dust.
I find Popit quite satisfactory. I did need to use some UK data before I could ‘park’ it on £1 per month but that wasn’t too difficult.
You can get anything you want? For example 30 days unlimited data in France for £56

The easiest thing is to download some tv programmes. It quickly uses the data and makes you roaming compliant.I am caught in the Popit trap. £13 a month and I can't cancel the bloody thing until I have used a ridiculous amount of data in UK, because I used about 5GB in Europe back in May.
I will definitely be getting an unlimited data, French SIM on day one, on my next trip.
