3 PAYG is giving 12 GB go roam for £12.
Black Friday deal!
Any idea how the pings are on 1p mobile? Thanks!Take a Three PAYG SIM or a smarty SIM with you.
Have a great time, I've never been to Norway myself but it's very much on my bucketlist
These roaming SIMs usually have a roaming broker, 3 AT is very common. Tele2 SE is another common one (Spusu use Tele2 as a broker for their EU roaming).
The broker works by 'selling' their roaming agreements as a service to other networks/providers. That way, smaller 'full' MVNOs like Sky, Spusu, Lyca can have their own roaming agreements. These brokers also work with eSIM companies.
The downside to this is, especially when an MVNO uses a roaming broker, your traffic gets routed back to the broker and then back to the UK. So ping times go sky high - and especially further away, doing anything can be a chore.
Spusu is a great example of this. I was getting ~30ms pings in France whilst roaming on iD (iD use Threes roaming agreements and not a broker, a direct connection back to the UK). Spusu was giving ~150ms pings as it was jumping to Sweden and then back to the UK.
An even worse example, from my recent US trip, was Honest Smart SIM. Their roaming broker is Proximus & TIM IT (depending on whatever it feels like it seems).
Whilst using TIM IT, the pings were 500/600ms, as traffic was going back over the Atlantic to Italy, then back to the UK.
My Three PAYG SIM, was again a direct link back to the UK, 90ms ping.
Never used EE abroad.Any idea how the pings are on 1p mobile? Thanks!
Cheers mate. You reckon 1p use the same roaming routing as EE?Never used EE abroad.
Couldn't get it to register in the US at all. It connected to TMobile for all of about 5 seconds and then died.
Didn't have my EE plan when I was in France in January, signed up in Feb.
Yes they do.Cheers mate. You reckon 1p use the same roaming routing as EE?
Should be pretty decent then I guess. Might give them a try now with the Black Friday dealsYes they do.
Should be pretty decent then I guess. Might give them a try now with the Black Friday deals![]()
Yeah... I'd choose them in a heartbeat if they'd do more than just 14gb EU roaming. The 30gb with iD are just super useful as I travel quite a lot. :/View attachment 21235

They give a pretty good guide on roaming partners too. I use their site as a guide for the partners EE has.
Thought it was 50GB, unless they've altered it silently.EE EU roaming is max 25gb?
I've added a section on roaming to the spreadsheet pretty quickly. There's holes for the networks i cant pluck out my brain but most are on there. Under Roaming Type.Yeah... I'd choose them in a heartbeat if they'd do more than just 14gb EU roaming. The 30gb with iD are just super useful as I travel quite a lot. :/
Sadly, the only other EE MNVO (apart from Lyca) with a decent roaming allowance is spusu... But the pings and call quality seem to be pretty bad
I wonder where I got that from, prob o2?.Thought it was 50GB, unless they've altered it silently.
Edit its still 50GB.
Thanks that's great!I've added a section on roaming to the spreadsheet pretty quickly. There's holes for the networks i cant pluck out my brain but most are on there. Under Roaming Type.
Direct is what you want of course.
Mmm but that's probably just true for EE's more long-term and premium plans? I can't justify paying that much for a SIM card :/I wonder where I got that from, prob o2?.
Just Googled it, Google says 50 GB.
Thanks![]()
All EE SIMs can use 50GB abroad. Whether you pay for it or not is the real question.Mmm but that's probably just true for EE's more long-term and premium plans? I can't justify paying that much for a SIM card :/
Also FYI iD Mobile has no cap on roaming until further noticeYeah... I'd choose them in a heartbeat if they'd do more than just 14gb EU roaming. The 30gb with iD are just super useful as I travel quite a lot. :/

I think they reintroduced the capAlso FYI iD Mobile has no cap on roaming until further notice![]()
I think they reintroduced the capCouldn't find the mention of the removal of the cap anymore. I think it might've just been a thing for the Euros? Might be wrong, though...
