MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
It looks like we will be in the alps for a few weeks next year in a place that won't have any wifi access.
I'm just wondering what the best/cheapest way of getting on line will be, to pick up email and check weather forecasts - should I just buy an add on to my current package (existing package allowance with EE won't be enough) or should I get another sim or dongle? The former looks like it might be asier but I was wondering what other's might have done

1-off trip? I'd probably just bolt-on more data when I run out

Yeah, it disproportionately expensive, but e-mails and weather apps only use a tiny bit of data. Stay off the SM and YouTube and you'll barely scratch 500MB.
If you really want to save the megabits, use your devices built in e-mail apps rather than the standalone apps, they tend to download a lot of ads and stuff.
yes...one off trip
you could try this. I used one last year for a couple of weeks and it was really good. I paid 30 euro a week. If you only want a small amount of data then your normal phone may be best.
We are with EE and have roaming for Europe, don't know if it will change after Brexit.
When we need Worldwide for our daughter whe she is competing we just use the add on for a month.
Just get an orange sim card in France. Pretty decent coverage even in the alps and less messing around than the alternatives above
