Anyone has suggestions for 90 days in Europe?

Should I buy three of the 30-day SIM from here or just rely on local SIM cards?
Itinerary is very flexible, so I can't say for sure how long I'll be at a specific country or something.

Can I check did you insert and activate the simcard before you board off flight? I saw some local seller stated that the card must b inserted in Singapore as the activation will take hours, while Changi Recommend mention that the card can only b inserted once you are at europe :)

I am using this SIM card. Currently in Spain, So far so good for data. But haven't use for calls. It is actually a UK SIM card from Three.

The Europe router from Changi Recommends is not so good though, connection is slow at times.

For the Changi recommend sim, I insert it after reaching Europe. Activation is automatic, just need to restart phone.

Not sure about other sellers.

I think icc is a ripoff leh. Depending on where you go, can get prepaid sim card while you’re there. Usually have much more data allocation than icc for similar prices.

For eg i was in italy, bought TIM Tourist for 30 euros online, collected at FCO airport. 15gb for 30 days - all EU SIM cards should have free roaming due to their recent regulations (adopted in 2017). Can use your data allocation throughout EU except Switzerland.

The ICC card I bought worked fine for me in Germany (though signal was weak in some remote country side area) but not in Poland. It worked when I went over to Amsterdam too.
