Depending on what you mean by "Europe" (Madrid? Waldhufen? A bunch of cabins in the north of Sweden? A random beach on Rhodes?), 4G/5G coverage is pretty good.

Depending on what you mean by "Europe" (Madrid? Waldhufen? A bunch of cabins in the north of Sweden? A random beach on Rhodes?), 4G/5G coverage is pretty good. Local SIMs are usually affordable, and thanks to the EU, roaming comes with a lot of things included.
As a reference, I have a 20eur/month pay as you go plan from Free (France) that gets me unlimited 5G, calls, messages in France, and unlimited calls and messages + 30GB internet in the whole of the EU + a bunch of other countries. Cheaper, more reliable, more useful, faster.
- dfadsadsf 2y agoThat's what I did last summer and sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not. If you are on 5G, in 20% of cases it works really well, in 60% of cases other people on the call can tell that your connection is not fiber but overall it's ok, and in 20% of cases Zoom just does not work and you can't have productive conversation. Hotel wifi is 50/50 - sometimes works, some times does not regardless of the price. I stayed in $400/day Mariott with crappiest wifi imaginable (after paying for Premium internet I got unstable 5MB).
- SXX 2y agoI can confirm Free offer is pretty good. Just keep in mind that after some time outside of France (like 6 month?) sim will stop working, but you can of course always register new one. Also anyone can buy and activate Free esim outside of France.
- Scoundreller 2y agoNeed a system where I can put my physical SIM card into a serial convertor and it “plugs” into a phone located in some other country so it can ping elsewhere every once in a while. Dunno if providers will pick up on me teleporting around. Maybe the better way is some kind of 700mhz repeater-over-IP.
