Hi, we haven’t been abroad on a family holiday since pre-brexit. We’ve also now got two teenagers who are glued to their phones. While I’m sure we’ll discourage them a bit, they’ll still use their phones. With all the new charges for roaming, is there a good way to roam while away - or do people go for PAYG sims from the local country?

We’re going to Madeira in this case, but would be interested to hear if there’s any general advice.

    In an odd twist of fate, a lot of the cheaper operators (e.g. iD mobile, Lycamobile, Giffgaff) still have free roaming in the EU+.

        I’m probably far too late, but giffgaff have a 5Gb limit on EU roaming.

        Hope you enjoy Madeira!

      That describes the overall picture, the main infrastructure owning network operators are more expensive than the piggybackers.
