Hi, we haven’t been abroad on a family holiday since pre-brexit. We’ve also now got two teenagers who are glued to their phones. While I’m sure we’ll discourage them a bit, they’ll still use their phones. With all the new charges for roaming, is there a good way to roam while away - or do people go for PAYG sims from the local country?

We’re going to Madeira in this case, but would be interested to hear if there’s any general advice.

    Which phone do you have? If your phone supports eSIM, it’s a lot easier to get a local SIM card - especially in places like India where you might get scammed if you’re not careful.
