Default Camos dome Europe reception reports please

Hi I have just been asked about reception using a camos dome in France, Spain, Portugal (Algarve) and not being a sat enabled person or having any experience of travelling Europe in a Motorhome I thought I would ask here.
2) Also would require info on using a dongle in these countries, so what system and
3)what mobile phone will one do all countries or does one need different Sim cards so there you go three questions, no doubt all asked and answered before but not by me.
