Be careful with the hidden t&cs on UK sims. So yes it might be a good idea to buy a local sim, but you may need to use/set-up a UK proxy via this.

We have a Three sim that gives us unlimited data in UK and is great for streaming (assuming there is a signal onsite).
But when we used it in France in the summer we found out only when we got locked out of using data, that we can only have 20GB in Europe, so this lasted us about a week. It does of course think that you are in the UK so you can still stream bbc/netflix etc, but with the data limitation!

Despite much arguing with Three when we were in France, this is apparently in the T&Cs but I cannot find any mention of it. So will need to get local sim next time.

There are many options for data on the move nowadays and a while back there was a thread about the Muama Ryoko coupled with a Flexiroam sim

As a completely portable router which could be coupled with a sim card which is operable in any country at home and abroad, this may well offer a good solution.

Three and Smarty are the same company, they both have a fair use policy which limits you to 20gb when abroad, lots of people saying VOXI are good value and they're website states you can use your data abroad as if at home but they are part of vodafone who also have a fair use policy but theirs is 25gb per month so unsure how much of this you'll actually be able to use,
still 25% better than 3 though

VOXI
