Compared to what my network wanted for roaming on a week in Ibiza, this was miles cheaper and I didn't have to faff about with a physical SIM. Ordered it on the sofa, got the activation email in a couple of minutes and had data on the plane's wifi-free landing. The data speed was decent for Insta and maps, and I topped up once when I ran low. Would not go back to paying roaming now.

The plan itself was sensible and the price was fair. It did take a few minutes longer than I'd have liked to get going on the day we arrived, and the instructions on the screen could be clearer, but once it was running there were no problems at all.
Read moreI was a bit worried this would be a faff but honestly it wasn't. Bought it the night before my flight to Barcelona, scanned the code in the airport and the data just came on. I had a couple of days where I was using maps and Instagram loads of the time and never ran out. It's the easiest trip admin I've done in ages, and it cost way less than the roaming my mate got charged on her network.
