    As far as I know Meteor or Emobile do not do roaming data sims.Meteor told me theirs work but after buying 40eiro credit they would NOT work in E.U. and customer service says it is a network technical problem. Ha Ha
    I was stuck in France but a very nice person in a Orange shop sold me a payasyougo sim and it worked perfectly with local rates too.

    The best ones are three which work in nearly all E.U. countries but can be expensive.

    The E.U. have let the mobile companies off the hook(all roaming rates were to be the same from July this year) but now this has been put back another 3 years.

    I have used Three sim  in France/Spain/Italy no problem just make sure you are on the correct network and topped up before you go.

    Only problem is they do not work while roaming. Meteor do not tell you that when you buy them so buyers beware.
