another interesting company in this space is FlexiroamX, they have a super flat sim that sticks on top of your existing sim. It lets you soft-switch the SIM using a "SIM Application" (like mentioned elsewhere in the thread) - appears as if it unplugs and replugs to the phone.

See picture of the process here: https://twitter.com/lathiat/status/758979125751054336

Works fantastically and gives me $30/GB data in pretty much any country at often 4G speeds - with a 12 month expiry on the data (does cost $20 a year or something for 'membership' but still, usually costs far more than that for a sim starter pack in every different separate country you go to). Good for frequent travellers!

Obligatory please use my referral link if you signup :-) Bonus 100MB for both me and you. http://www.flexiroamx.com/referYXBBCJ / Code YXBBCJ

Super interesting. So the overlay tricks the phone into thinking there's 2 SIMs in the phone?

It's more like a "proxy" for your SIM card where it can act as its own SIM, or as a passthrough, depending on software settings.

>$30/GB

Some European operators still have cheaper roaming data plans

As an example, I pay £20/month for 30GB, that can be used anywhere in the EU, USA, Canada, Australia (and a few other countries).

If it's "Feel at home" from Three, you can use it only for short trips and tethering is forbidden.
