And I tried to explain to you, that there is not such a thing like "unlimited" in international roaming.
They can advertize with this buzzword, but they throttle or downgrade after a certain quota.

BNE SIM has a very high margin: 100 GB for a month. Have you tried it?
If so, how do you handle them? I keep on asking. You can't top-up a BNE SIM with a new "unlimited" pack. You have to buy a new SIM.

You keep on making proposals like this or that SIM labeled as "unlimited". But what is "unlimited" for you? How do you define "unlimited"? Please give me a definition.
For instance the Rewheel market research center in Finland defines "unlimited" as at least 100 GB at min. 4 Mbps in 4G/LTE. This is a clear definition of what to call "unlimited" and what not.

But like the industry you blur the term "unlimited" and extend it to every package which is not shut off. For instance is the T-Mobile USA "unlimited" data roaming in 140+ countries "unlimited" or not - as it's limited to 2G speeds. Or do you mean "unlimited" domestic data plans? Not roaming plans. These are available in many countries now, but not for international roaming!

And again: How do you handle all your proposals?
1.) BNE SIM: unlimited pack once-off only as starter, no refill
2.) AIS SIM2FLY: Hard to top-up from abroad. Needs to be refilled 12-times for a year of validity at a premium of 5-30%.
How do you keep these SIM cards alive for occasional journeys?

I'm a roaming freak as you are, but if you want to be taken seriously, you need to specify your proposals. All I hear from you are this or that SIM or operator is called or advertises as "unlimited". And you say it's a great thing. Asking for details, you evade. So one can wonder what you are up to?
