I buy vouchers here https://www.mobiletopup.co.uk/three then add them to my three account, then select my plan. I only use this for travel trips though, I do not use this as my full time plan. They are pretty observant and if you use the SIM only out of the UK they close you down pretty quick. Much of my travel is in the UK so I seem to be under their radar.

Also in some countries you only get 3g data and not 4g or LTE, that can have a serious impact on streaming etc. It works great for my needs and is budget friendly. BUt if your work depended on it I would look for a better solution.
Hmm, yea I was able to find a little more about the deal. I noticed I would have to buy the add on unlimited * but only lets you get 12gb if out of UK* so most likely I would have to add to it during that month if I went over 12gb. Also as long as I can stream in most countries even some lag or rough spots thats fine.(as long as its not like dial up of the old days lol) So is the sim card better to purchase in advance and get it shipped to me or could I find this at the airport or somewhere close to the airport once arriving?

Also besides the company Three what other companys offer a similar or close to the same package pre paid plan that you would go with if like you said "find a better solution"
