And tell me what you think, what to add and what can be left out.
It will replace the old site with the old rules from June.

I did a quick peruse of the article. I am in USA and don't expect to
travel to Europe in the foreseeable future. So my thoughts might be mostly irrelevant. This looks like a very, very good start.


0. Should I have seen the 'edit' links? I really don't think you want me or anyone else touching this/your work.

1. When you do edit, have you considered marking the changes in some way for content that has changed or is different than what was there previously?
Marking content, but not style fixes. At least until you get to a near final product.


2. Trivia question. Living in California, the EEA has not been something I have paid attention to very much. Is the UK really, actually going to be leaving the EEA also?

3. Since a lot will change or become apparent as time marches on,
perhaps a regular update schedule can be announced and maintained?
Even if it says only that there was no update this week it might help visitors know when to expect changes.

Well I'm going to try to pick up a Tuenti SIM which is suppose to have 12 GB.

Not sure how long that's good for but I will be in Spain for about 2 weeks in mid July.

Then, I'm going to MUC and Austria at the end of August. If I have data over, it would be interesting to see if this Roam Like At Home will work out well.

With various sales in the summer, it seems easy enough to pick up a new SIM each time though at the new place, assuming you keep your total outlay at €20 or less.

So this means there is no more roaming?

It would seem that this is a major option that some carriers are going to implement.
This Website and International Roaming SIM cards are suddenly
relevant again.
Hooray!

I've had SIMs in Spain, Austria and now Italy.

I got the TIM International SIM in Trapani for 20 Euros. I could have either 10 GB with some amount of voice and texts (forget how much) or 30 GB of data.

This SiM was for my iPad Pro so I opted for data and used about 10 GB over 1 week before leaving Italy. I could have used more but I used Wifi at hotels. In most cases, TIM 4g was faster than hotel wifi.

Now I have 2 hour layover in Munich and when I first took my iPad off airplane mode, it showed Telekom 3G but at some point switched to 4G. At the terminal I got 133 Mbps down, 39 Mbps up. Faster than TIM, at least in parts of Sicily.

Finally a great experience with RLAH!
