Data Cell Phone Use in Germany, England and France

Hey guys,

I'm going to Paris, London, and Berlin. I have verizon currently and have setup a $25 international plan that comes with 100mb. Are there any carries that cover all three cities with more data?

T-Mobile or local SIMs are your best bet. Also http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...i-country.html

I'm also on Verizon...and yes, they have probably the worst international plans out of all the US carriers. I usually give my Verizon rep grief about it every few months.

We usually do the pre-paid SIM thing. Almost always the cheapest and often the easiest.

when you're in london - pick up a Pay As You Go SIM from three ... and for 18 countries including france (new ones added regularly) you can just buy an add-on for just 50p per day for a decent chunk of data.

i only use three when i'm travelling - i'm on an o2 contract in the UK.

Don't you need a month of service with Three before the roaming option is active?

I got my PAYG sim from Three in January - and used it in the US a day later.
