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

There are plenty of esim options, they are easy to use and you don't have to change SIM cards. Some are app based like Airalo, worked very well in Morocco. Just used Maya for Egypt also okay, they also do an unlimited data SIM, £40 for France.
I don't think you can use esim in a MIFI router. I might be wrong.
Yes without competition they have a field dayisn't it comforting to know that UK telco's are not prejudice, they'll rip off anyone of any colour, race, sexuality, or age
And better deals can be found (eg. on uswitch and/or quidco) 3 x 30Gb max per SIM/month (total £21 = 90Gb EU).3x 60GB monthly contract with ID mobile should give you 90GB (30GB per sim), I've not done this, but its a month by month contract so you can terminate if there fair usage policy kicks in...

Pretty sure UK is one of the most competitive mobile markets. Just don't buy direct...Yes without competition they have a field day
And doesn’t Starlink line Musk’s pocket?If you're OK with VPN, then a local SIM should be even better value.
(definitely cheaper than Starlink @ £96/mth )
You may find it worthwhile to change to EE broadband at home. My package recently renewed is £29 per month fibre broadband and £10 month unlimited data and including roaming anytime. I did have to ring up and negotiate though and I already had the roaming part negotiated on my last package.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.
Safe and happy travels.
Where I have breakfast, the bar has wifi .It isn't a lot & my phone will always go for the wifi first. When I turn it off the Digi speed averages around 150downI agree
we were down in Almerimar earlier this year and needed a bit of data, 13€ got me a Digi 200gb sim for a month and really good speeds as well
