I'm spending a bit of time in europe, mainly Spain & France. I'm using a MIFI as a hub for phone, Laptop & tablet. My UK plan is restricted whilst roaming, if I use a european sim my access to some uk stuff is limited.
So I'm thinking I'll get a european SIM in the MIFI then stick a vpn on the devices I wish to use, is this the way? or is there another solution? If so any recommendations? Ta
Lobster are quite good in Spain for mobile Internet. Worth a look. One month rolling 'stop and start' contract.
I'm still on a three mobile legacy plan for £12 per month and they can prise that out of my cold dead fingers, lol.
Lebara are £22.50 a month (30d rolling) and that gives 20 gig of roaming data.
Smarty worked for a friend in my mifi. But I'm with virgin who has not restricted roaming as yet.
Plusnet don't do roaming charges. Curently £10 a month for 30gb!

BTW it doesn;t matter where your SIM is based when it comes to accessing stuff, that's driven by your actual location so you may end up using a VPN either way

They cancelled mine and I now have to pay £5 per day if I want to use my internets abroad, I'll be seeing what's good in 12 months when my current contract expires

Not my experience. Vodafone's data endpoint give you an IP somwhere in Bracknell or Newbury so apps such as iplayer, netflix and amazon work fine (even the BBC website thinks I'm at home when I'm abroad), as they don't have access to realtime location data. It's only when I connect to the local wifi in a hotel that they detect I'm outside the UK.
VPNs are far less useful than they once were as both Netflix and Amazon now detect their use and cut you off. Smart DNS might get around it. Not tried. Other providers may make you pop-out with a local IP. The superdrugMobile dongle in the van doesn't though.
