My plan with 3 is soon to expire, it's only 3 SIMs plus an unlimited data SIM.

Everytime we go overseas, we seem to get killed for data roaming somehow... The £2 to unlock plus some random charges always seem to be out of allowance. And all new plans have an annual price rise - the same with the main operators.

Is there any downside to switching to a Lebara, Lyca, ID Mobile type operators? They all piggy back off the main networks so surely they're OK?

Ideally, I'd like a single portal to manage all the SIMs in, but not a deal breaker?

Any other suggestions?

I currently use Talkmobile for a few business mobiles.

£16 unlimited data / mins, free to roam in most EU countries. 5G is very good, uses Vodafone

I just login as a different user to view them individually.

The deals are through uSwitch

Thanks - I think that's the way, as the annual price hike seems pretty cynical to me...

I haven’t had any annual price rises in a few years either.

Thoroughly recommend providing you get a good Vodafone signal in your areas.

Have a look at the Smarty deals. It's 3s SIM only plan which includes roaming and on a 30 day rolling contract.
(I'm sure I've got a referral code if you want to go that route!)

Go for Lebara, seems good and really cheap. 30 day rolling too so you can basically leave anytime.

I'm on Lebara for my personal SIM, the app claims to support up to 4 numbers.
