I’m sure it would be. 🤷‍♂️

Tiekom is €43 a month for 400gb in Spain 200gb elsewhere so cheaper if I'm reading it right as this one is £69 ?

Correct but I had really bad reception in France with Tiekom?

I found that when we moved location we often had to reselect provider but always had a good signal after that. Tiekom was very reliable for us.

We have ours in a ZTE MU5001 and had no issues and obviously been great on movistar since being in Spain. Even when I activated it at home it got a good O2 signal not my crappy EE one.

Sounds like a good deal for anyone wanting a fit and forget UK option for a single trip, without the hassle of buying abroad.
Beats most I've seen, has anyone tried it to check speeds and reliability as I'd be quite tempted for our next trip.

I'd love to stay with IQ as I know it's a solid choice but at their current £75 for 100gb it hurts a bit.

Bought this last year to travel through Belgium, Germany and France. Technically, it worked very well. Good strong fast connections in each country.

Practically, it wasnt what I needed. It was a Spanish sim so, on our Roku, we couldnt watch uk TV or most of the streaming apps. From memory, only Netflix, YouTube, and Sky news worked. And the adverts were in Spanish!

Normally, I'm with 1pmobile, their current rate for EU is £10 for 25gb (14gb EU limit), so that's about 100gb EU use for the same price (i.e twice as expensive) but would have UK TV apps.

Off to Ireland for 5 weeks soon so will investigate further. On the other hand, I'm hoping our satellite dish will work there.

If it don't allow UK TV then no good for me (insert patronising comment here). As far as I can tell, the ID Mobile (no EU limit) deal still applies, which as Mrs E and I both have 100gb sims at £10 a month is the cat's pyjamas...
 
Personally Ive had experience as follows:

Lebara: Terrible
Mobi Matter esim: Great

You need a VPN and they all work fine.
 
We purchased a 300GB Orange Mundo sim from the guy at Benidorm Indoor Market. €20 for 28 days, and after 28 days, we put another 28 days of data on it using the SpainSur website for €23.60. We used this to stream UK tv every evening via a VPN and stream UK radio while driving. Has worked perfectly everywhere we have been in Spain.

Has anyone had any experience with this one? 400GB FOR EUROPE. 50 euro ( @ £42). Wondering if any roaming restriction outside Spain.

How does that pan out when using it on-the-road over a couple of hundred km?

When we were in France, Spain and Portugal for 8 weeks it was a very good service. Good signal and reliable. Travelling on main routes etc not an issue. We tend to choose quiet rural camping areas. If signal was a bit slow I would go into settings and change provider to see it was better or switch off and back on. Prob more device than sim! As the service offers multi network service it’s better than only having one provider. I will use again.

RWG are back offering a 100Gb/1 month SIM for use in the EU (not UK) for £30. Using it now in France in a GL-X3000 Spitz-AX category 19 MiFi. It's running on the EE/Now network, currently using band 20 on Orange-F Now network.

Only issue is had is that it stopped dead when it hit 100Gb, with no prior notification. Call to help desk (operated by Now) who confirmed it hit the 100Gb max, went back and purchased, using my phone, an additional 50Gb for £20 and the MiFi wroke up in an hour, after a reboot.

I have no tech brain, sorry, If I use an unlimited SIM in a mobile phone and make that a "hot spot" can I then watch ITV, BBC on an ipad in Spain / France? Excuse my ignorance! Going in April for 70 ish days (first time!).

Your "unlimited SIM" will have some fine print saying a max 12Gb outside the UK. Watching much on an iPad you'll clock up 150Gb/month. So it will shutdown after a week, including Google maps, or move to an extortionate rate for further viewing (unless you have a very rare, very old unlimited contract). For other options see above.

Motorhome or PVC? If a PVC then the metal acts as a Faraday cage inhibiting all electromagnetic signals (incl. phone signals) so if you are remote your phone won't work. They do far better with an external aerial. Plastic motorhomes are less restrictive.

Whatever you have, BBC, ITV, Sky, etc all block non-UK viewing (BBC because non-UK people haven't paid the license fee, ITV & Sky because of advertising paid locally in each country). To get round this you need a VPN (virtual private network) that means you access the internet (and BBC, etc.) from one of their servers in the UK But not all VPNs are equal. Some are better at hiding the fact that you are not in actually in the UK than others.

I wish you many happy hours of research and reading on this forum - a lot info available.
 
I'm with EE for UK mobile. When I renegotiated my contract a year ago I got a free add-on which is user-selectable on a monthly basis, thus I have EU roaming at no extra cost. It's good enough to watch motorsports and rugby via YouTube channels and we don't bother with films or TV - we are on holiday !

Regarding your comment …. Extortionate rate…. I have a lebara sim with 30Gb of EU roaming. Should I go over the 30Gb the rate is £95 per Gb !

MGDavid Am I right in thinking this is subject to 50gb of fair usage roaming whilst in Europe ?
