EU roaming data SIM

Willeke · 17-09-2016, 09:55

I found a GOOD solution now through wereldwijdwifi.nl
Maybe not the cheapest per GB, but you ONLY pay when you use it, and the GBs you don't use up, stay valid for a year. No more worries about not using up the monthly GBs you've paid for.
And no more obscure messages or warnings in Italian either.

And no, I do not have an interest in their business, am just SO relieved!!

It's interesting to see that the internatl. SIM card sellers in Europe are starting to get in panic and are lowering their prices.

This Dutch SIM card is actually a KeepGo SIM which is sold more expensively in the rest of the world:

Some considerations:
1) 1GB at €25 is expensive when you consider that Vodafone in the Netherlands sells 1GB EU data on regular prepaid at €10 valid for 1 month.

2) The major difference is that Keepgo/wereldwijdwifi has a 1 year validity for the data credit. So it can be used for lower volumes and at several occations/trips.

3.) But in about 8 months (that's July 2017) all roaming surcharges will be banned in the EU (within a possible FUP). This will dry up the whole EU market for these products. They can still try to sell them overseas, but I don't think that users will be so stupid.

So what's the use in spending in a long-term solution, when the rules are going to be changed (again) soon?

Will they have a flat rate for overage GBs which would vitiate the FUP?

the FUP they are discussing says that you can have up to 90 days of roaming per year or 30 days in a row.
Excluded from the counting will be cross-border people who swap between home and roaming networks every day.
The data allowance corresponds to your local contract. so if you buy 1 GB you can use 1 GB also in Roaming etc.
