Product Information

After visiting 100 countries by the end of 2019 I felt inspired to visit every country in the world. However,along the way I found out it is not my thing to turn traveling into a challenge. I travel because it is my passion, I travel to learn, to become a better person and to feel alive and live in the moment. For me life is about chasing happiness, not goals! The most obvious benefit is that you’ll be able to use your phone in Europe right away, without needing to find and buy a SIM card. You’ll be able to compare prices, rather than buying the first thing you see at a European airport. All sim cards mentioned in this article are sim cards with FREE EU roaming intended for those that visit a couple countries on a short trip. However, if you only travel to 1 or 2 countries in Europe you might be better off buying a local sim card on arrival. Local sim cards are mostly valid in 1 country only. Especially for a trip to Eastern Europe I would recommend buying a local sim card, rather than a European sim card. Airalo is a trusted e-sim card provider and offers e-sim cards for pretty much every country in the world. Their Europe e-sim card plans are more expensive than other e-sim cards for Europe, but the reason why they are ranked this high in this European sim card comparison is because it is the only sim card for Europe you can buy on the internet that is 5G READY! If you joined Three before 1st October 2021 and haven’t changed or upgraded your plan since then you will be able tomake free use of Go Roam.

Brexit threw the UK out of the European Union and one of the major problems is the free EU roaming on UK prepaid sim cards. Most of the prepaid and e-sim cards you buy in the UK do not include free EU roaming anymore. For more info see my guide for buying a sim card in the UK in 2023. Buying a local sim card on arrival in Europe Once you land in Europe, you should be able to buy a SIM card from phone stores or at the airport. Just bear in mind that this may not be the cheapest way to get an international SIM. Do you need a SIM card for each country in Europe?When using Go Roam outside of Europe, a different limit applies to your usage there. Here, Three will look at the number of “complete months” you spend abroad in a Go Roam Around The World country. By complete months, this means you’ve spent the entire month abroad in a Go Roam country. If you’ve also used your phone inside the UK or in a non-Go Roam country, it will not count as a complete month towards your limit. Customers mustn’t spend more than two complete months abroad per year in a Go Roam Around The World country: If you’re travelling to one of our Go Roam Around the World destinations, you can also use your allowances to call and text the UK and use your data. Fair use policies apply in all Go Roam destinations. SIM card validity is the time the SIM card is valid after the last reload. If you have one of these travel SIM cards and its validity, for example, is for one year, this means that if you haven't loaded credit onto it for a year, it now can't be used again. You need to get a new SIM card.

Make sure you activate this card in one of the 72 countries below (Please do not activate it in unsupported countries (i.e Malaysia)). For Columbia, you must activate it in any one of the countries below before using. Or else it will be unusable because it cannot be activated in Columbia. Therefore upon arrival in Europe you can potentially buy a local prepaid sim card for tourists and be connected to the internet in all other countries you visit in Europe. However, there are a lot of exceptions, so keep reading… Buying a local prepaid sim card is the cheapest way to stay connected when traveling to Europe in 2023. In the links above you will find specific guides for buying a local prepaid sim card per country or airport, which means on arrival in Europe.

This should help you find the best option for your trip, your cell phone and your budget. 1: Orange Holiday Europe SIM¹ Outside the UK, there is a maximum cap of 12GB usage per number in 30 days. Hence even if you top up, you can't use the GB allocation due to this restriction. Going on an European adventure and need to have seamless internet connectivity country to country? Look no further as this UK & Europe Three travel prepaid SIM card comes with data, calls & text. This travel prepaid SIM card is a local UK SIM with UK phone number and comes with toal 10GB data quota in in all the listed countries. In this article, we’ll review the Go Roam offer including the countries it’s available in and the best Go Roam SIM cards. We’ll also look at Three’s international coverage and the limitations of the Go Roam offer including fair use limits when abroad.

If you have a data allowance greater than 12GB, you can use up to this amount of data each month. Any usage over this fair use limit but within your allowance is subject to a surcharge.

This is the latest addition to the family of the Orange sim cards for traveling in Europe. It is the bigger brother of the Orange Holiday Europe sim card, but only available as an e-sim card at the moment. Three's All-in-One 20 starter plan comes with 12GB of data per month, which should be enough for a few weeks, plus 3,000 minutes of talk time within the UK (or 300 minutes when roaming in Europe) and 3,000 texts sent around the world. Great advantage of this Orange tourist sim card for Europe is that it has international calling minutes included. The downside about the Orange Holiday Europe prepaid sim card is that it is valid for only 14 days. If your trip to Europe is longer than 14 days I recommend you getting a different prepaid or e-sim card for Europe so you don't have to worry about topping up during your holiday. 3. Eurolink eSIM from Airalo Our monthly fair use limit of 12GB applies when roaming in our Go Roam in Europe destinations, which includes the Republic of Ireland. There is no extra charge for using your allowance up to the 12GB data limit. But once you’ve exceeded your data limit, you’ll be charged 0.3p/MB for the remainder of your UK allowance. There are no fair use limits for making calls or sending texts whilst roaming in a Go Roam in Europe destination, and the Republic of Ireland is excluded from the daily roaming charge. You can also use this card in USA, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. You can enjoy up to 5G coverage in countries that has this coverage. Note that tethering (mobile hotspot) is only available in UK and Europe countries. This travel prepaid plan truly represents best value for frequent travellers and to those visiting several countries in Europe on a trip. Purchasing separate SIM cards in each country would cost an average of 40 Euros each. From London to New York, stretching across continents, this card is all you need.

Have your USD automatically converted to EUR at the mid-market exchange rate, whenever you spend. There’s just a small fee to convert the currency, and no transaction fees. Going on a European adventure and need to have seamless internet connectivity from country to country? Look no further as this UK & Europe Three travel prepaid SIM card comes with data, calls & text. This travel prepaid SIM card is a local UK SIM with a UK phone number and comes with a massive 25GB data quota in the UK. You can also use this outside of the UK, especially in Europe but limited to 12GB of data from the 25GB data quota.

You can do that by getting and activating a top-up voucher. Make sure you activate this card in one of the 60 countries below. Please do not activate it in unsupported countries (i.e Malaysia).You should be able to connect to local Wi-Fi where you’re staying. Use apps like WhatsApp to place calls over Wi-Fi. If you roam exclusively in a Go Roam Around the World destination for any two complete months in a rolling 12-month period, we may suspend International Roaming on your account, meaning you will no longer be able to use your phone or device abroad. Of course, we will let you know in advance if this is likely to happen. If you spend a full month abroad but some of that time is spent in a destination that isn’t included in Go Roam, the restriction won’t apply. The alternative is to make Skype voice calls from your phone, provided there’s credit in your Skype account.) Roaming around the world While Three officially doesn’t allow tethering, I’ve always had tethering work in the UK, although it only occasionally works when roaming in Europe. Roaming around Europe The European Union came in 2017 finally with the genius idea to let go of roaming charges within the EU countries. Therefore in 2017 people can use their sim card from Spain in Italy and their Germany sim card in Sweden without any extra charges. For people looking for a sim card for Europe travel this was the best news ever of course.
