Sim only phone account for europe


Recommended Posts

Does anybody have experience of orange holiday phone sim, everybody on the forums seems to be discussing data sims,all we want is sim for a spare phone in case our uk based providers fail us while away as they have in the past.

Can't speak about Orange, but I use Smarty Sims for myself and wife (£7.20 each for 16Gb) unlimited calls in UK and EU, also from EU to UK (but not UK to EU). It is a rolling 30 day contract and can be paused for 6 months before renewing or lapsing.

I also have a Lebarra SIM at £5 for 5gb cost. It is also a 30 day contract and has unlimited calls in UK and 100 minutes international calls included.

If you buy via uSwitch then you can get it for £1.49 for the first 3 months

An AsdaMobile (on Vodafone's net in the UK) pay as you go SIM is a good travel back up. You're supposed to top it up and make a call or text every 6 months to keep it active but I've gone longer than this several times and it keeps going and I've never lost any credit from my a/c. Call/text rates are the same in the UK or EU+ roaming and are fine as a little/never used backup.

A 'bundle' lasting a month can be added while abroad if needs be; this adds the chosen amount of data plus unlimited calls + text for its duration. I've done this several times just to get some more data while travelling.
