Seconding/thirding Moose and Nathan. Forgot to mention, I had a UK number/SIM only for UK friends/family reaching me easily rather than dialing "overseas". "Roam Like Home" is bad grammar and a good deal, C$15 is much the same as US$10, of course.

I will go with His Mooseness’s recommendation. Brexit is the gift that keeps on 
giving, so the free roaming within the EU no longer applies in the UK. Your best bet 
is to look into the deals from your US provider. When we go to the US mainland, we do 
not bother with e-sims etc., just relying on wifi and the occasional roaming. When we 
go to Puerto Rico, we do buy a local e-sim because roaming there is ridiculously 
expensive.

Cheers,
Nathan

I looked into all this for a trip last Fall to England and Wales. All very 
confusing and bemusing. Reviewers had differing ideas, etc. In the end, we just 
used Verizon's $10 per day used option.  Used it when needed for GPS, on one 
phone only. Once started for a day, second phone used local hot spot from first 
and we did what we needed. Every place we stayed had Wi-Fi and our phones have 
call over internet option. So we were really connected adequately with few $10 
days.

Really quite freeing, compared to past experiences.

Have a great trip!!

    Heading to France, N. Italy, maybe Switzerland in Sep-Oct. and
    wondering what is the recommended provider in the area? Had O2 the last
    couple trips to Scotland but wasn't the best. Also will be in UK and
    wonder what's the deal since brexit. Do I need a separate SIM? Just
    looking at getting a prepaid monthly. My phone will take an eSIM but my
    wife's won't. Both phones are dual physical SIM.
    Separate question: What will the passes be like in Oct? Specifically
    the Bolzano/Merano area. (My grandparents are from there).
    Thanks,
    Mike
