This is the fateful combination of O2 and Android together, possibly the worst experience in the universe (from experience). Nothing but trouble for years.

I dumped my Pixel 6A and O2 a couple of years back after a roaming shit show in Iceland where they billed me £400 and went iOS and Giffgaff. Despite giffgaff being the same company in theory keeping a physical sim with them has been trouble free. And I just add an additional eSIM when travelling wherever and everything just works! Giffgaff gives you 5Gb of roaming a month as well in Europe which is good enough for the odd weekend here and there if you are careful and enable low data mode.

I got a prepaid eSIM from O2 this summer and then traveled through Europe. It worked great, got some 50GB of traffic for a month, had no connectivity issues.
