Sim card for phone travelling to UK, France and Germany
 

Hi all,

hoping to pick your brains

We are travelling back to UK with trip to France and Germany thrown in. Looking for 2 sim cards to use in our unlocked Optus phones.

We need to phone (rarely) text (more often) and use data for fb, google maps etc.Will need use ofr 6 weeks.

What do people suggest?

TIA

Why not just get a SIM once you get there?

6 weeks means you'll need to get an additional recharge, but that shouldn't be a hassle to arrange and for the moment at least roaming in Europe should be at the same rate as the UK.

You can buy a SIM online so you have something when you land, but in general that's not needed now (and they can be difficult to recharge). eg https://www.amazon.com.au/Prepaid-Si...pe+%28UK+EE%29

I bought a sim from Three (from a 3 mobile shop in the UK) using the Go Roam feature. Popped the sim in my unlocked (Telstra) iPhone and used it (mostly for data) throughout Europe. I use the 20 quid plan (12GB) for 30 days. Works really well.
