Just discovered how hard it is to get a pay-as-you-go SIM in the UK without having to top up monthly.

#1pmobile seems to be the only clear option (?)

#eSIM #roaming services like #Airalo seem ridiculously expensive. In fact, really expensive.

So therefore I decided to investigate into it using my home country as the United Kingdom as an example, and well my findings prove that it's usually better to find a local Pay as You Go SIM (such as a Lebara unlimited SIM, with 100 international minutes, 30GB EU roaming 10GB India roaming for £25 for 30 days).

I don't get the point of eSIM roaming services

You might have seen companies like Airalo that allows you to roam at a cheaper price be mentioned by people. But in reality, is it really a good idea to even consider?

So fed up with #Three's poor coverage this last 12 months, so now changed to #Lebara #mobile. I chose Lebara over #GiffGaff as I perceive the #Vodafone network to have more coverage then #O2 and that Lebara includes EU global roaming in your plan. Selected the #30GB #PAYG plan to include unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 30GB data (including 5G) and 500 minutes to 42 countries. So if you fancy it, here's a referral URL (http://aklam.io/ypzCrX) that'll get you 50% and give me a few pennies.

Lektion gelernt: Wenn man den billigen #S3-kompatiblen #Objektspeicher von #Wasabi.com nutzt, hat man weniger als 24 Stunden Zeit, um auf deren Warnung wegen zuviel Datentransfer zu reagieren.

Mein Account wurde deaktiviert – weniger als 18 Stunden nachdem Wasabi die E-Mail mit dem Warnhinweis an mich geschickt hatte. An die #Cloud-Daten kam ich nicht mehr ran. Inzwischen wurde er reaktiviert, nachdem ich meinen Cache repariert hatte und das deren Tech-Support erklärt hatte.

In Wasabis günstig klingendem Pay-go-Tarif darf pro Monat nur soviel heruntergeladen werden (#Egress) wie man dort Daten abgelegt hat.

Personenbezogene Daten darf man da eh nicht speichern, weil US-Unternehmen – auch wenn man deren Datacenter in der EU nutzt (#Schrems2). Jetzt weiß ich, dass man da nur Daten speichern sollte, die man noch woanders hat.
