So does your device automatically choose the correct network depending on what sim it has?

  From the observation, yes, but I'm not sure whether it is just up to the device to choose a network with the same prefix (the ids are different), or whether there is some network intelligence. When there's no network with the same prefix, the choice is usually random. It doesn't matter anyway, money-wise it is the same.

    The SIM card has a preset of preferred roaming networks, which your home provider may or may not update. Replacing SIMs every now and then may actually help with your roaming experience.

      Yep. Dumbphones often let you view or even manually edit this list as well.

  No, it doesn't - your home provider ought to publish a list of providers with whom they have roaming agreements. For example, here's Three Ireland's page for Germany: https://apps.three.ie/roaming/phone/prepay/Germany https://apps.three.ie/roaming/phone/prepay/Germany
