Even with this "amazing" deal (which it really isn't), it's still a rip off versus buying a sim card there. Believe me, your Mom will do just fine getting a sim card there and renewing it every month.
Personally I don't trust that plan to be cheaper than just buying a sim card in most of those countries. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's still cheaper to buy a local sim card in most/all of those countries, instead of using that roaming plan. Never understood why people bother with all these ####ty North American roaming plans when it is significantly easier/cheaper to just buy a sim card there. Money in the wind. I guess if you travel around various countries on that list during most of the year it might balance out. But for someone popping in and out of Europe once a year, nah. |
Yeah, my mom has a phone in Poland as well but the continuity issue is that she can't receive any calls, voicemails or texts from her number here in Canada when she is over there. Having a North America and Europe plan would keep her contacted much better.
Plus she runs into the occasional MFA issue when her bank wants to send a verification code to her phone.
