The cities I'll be visiting are: Paris, Frankfurt, Cologne, Amsterdam, Bruges and London.
I'm from Argentina as well, in case that counts.
What do you think? Many suggested a prepaid plan from T-Mobile for example, but there doesn't seem to be a way to acquire the SIM if you live outside the UK. Thanks so much in advance!

If you are travelling during August, Vodafone Ireland have a Prepaid SIM that offers free data roaming throughout Europe up to a limit of 50MBytes per day. This works out at about 99c per day. If you were visiting Ireland, you could pick up a SIM for free by porting from another Irish network who offer free SIM cards. As Ireland is not on your list, you should be able to buy a Vodafone Ireland SIM on eBay.
This website gives further details.
Amazing deal: data roaming for $1.35 PER DAY in UK and Europe! - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller
I have used this SIM around Europe in the last few weeks - it works great.
