Travel SIM card for Europe

Travel SIM card for Europe - Free stock photo of accessories, adventure, antique

I'm not sure if what I'm about to ask for even exists, but is there a SIM card that I could get, that allows me to use 3G/4G data anywhere within the EU for a decent price?

I live in Australia and the SIM cards here are $100 for 5GB of data!



Best Answer

Since 15th June 2017 you can use any SIM bought in a EU country without any additional roaming charges in other EU countries (with some limitations, which however are only noteworthy if you travel for a couple of months through the EU without going back to the country where you bought the SIM card).

This means it depends mainly on the first EU country you enter and a good overview of the available prepaid SIM card can be found at the Prepaid Data SIM Wiki.
