Two years ago I participated in a thread about this topic. At that time, based on information from this forum, I thought that a UK Three sim was probably my best option. Fortunately, I didn’t purchase a sim then because international travel completely stopped for us. Now that international travel is a hope for us, I thought it was time to revisit this topic. After all, two years is a long time in the cell phone arena. For example, does Brexit make a UK sim less useful?
My primary motivation is the ability to phone DH when we are out and about and he wanders off. This means that I will need two sims…one for each of us. For other communication needs I can use wifi calling whenever we have wifi access.
We each have super cheap cell phone service through Tracfone, but it doesn’t offer any international roaming options. Our service is paid up for the next 3+ years. (I had good luck buying free service with their rewards program.). I don’t want to switch to another carrier for primary service like Google Fi or T-MOBILE. Those are excellent options but my frugal nature won’t allow me to give up years of free service.
Our first planned trip is with another couple so I don’t want to spend a couple of hours finding and purchasing a sim overseas. I would like to have something set up before we leave.
