Thread: PSA Cheap Sim for Free Roaming in Europe and USA

  1. #1

    PSA Cheap Sim for Free Roaming in Europe and USA

    With summer holidays coming up thought Id post this as it is perfect for those being charged a fee for roaming by their provider, or if you want to dole them out to your kids to keep them happy.

    90p for 15 GB for 5 months and free EU roaming and many other countries too including USA and Thailand.

    No direct debit it just takes the 90p each month from your credit card.

    Cancel after 5 months to avoid a still low 7.90 per month.

    I have a work phone and swaps to this sim when I travel to Europe to avoid racking up bills with my employer.

    I was ripped off a paid 1 pcm!

    Only thing I noticed is I had to change the access point name when roaming abroad.

    So, I used the default wap.vodafone.co.uk (Lebara runs off the Vodafone network in the UK), but needed to switch to uk.lebara.mobi when I was in Spain.

    Instructions as follows. Takes one minute.



    And this is what you need to toggle if it is an Android phone.

    I saved a huge amount of money using an e-sim for data roaming in Saudi Arabia earlier this year - just called via Whatsapp. O2 would have charged me a fortune!.

    Thanks for heads up. Will have a look into this. Roaming in the US is generally very expensive unless youre on EE (as my Wife is and Im not)

    I just had a conversation with EE when it came to renewal.give me free EU roaming or Im leaving for another network. Approved immediatelythe benefit of a decent EE plan with no cost for EU roaming.

    Much improved - my last visit was 7 years ago. They have spent vast amounts on development in Riyadh and Jeddah. Still has some foibles but the place is changing at a pace.
