Travelling abroad for 90 days looking for better option than £2 per day

I am travelling to Spain Portugal and Italy and my trip will be 90days long. I am looking for a more economical option than the £2 a day roaming charge. Any recommendations?

Hi @kitty0102  your only other options are using free WiFi when available, get a different UK network sim or use local sims in each country. There is no way of reducing the cost with sky. 





If someone has helped give them a thumbs up.

If their answer solved your issue mark it as the correct answer.

I won’t respond to direct messages so please post any problems on the forum.

As @63johnw indicates, your best bet is to purchase service on a SIM from one of the (increasingly small number of) mobile providers which don't charge a daily fee for access to UK data, calls & text bundles while in the EU: unfortunately the right to access national bundles at no extra cost ended for UK residents with Brexit.

Be careful though: a 90 day trip would exceed the O2 'free' access limit by a month, for example.
