Not if you lose it or if it breaks.
don't confuse convenience with contingency/insuranceNot if you lose it or if it breaks.
Yes. Although the roaming packs are valid for 365 days.The international roaming packs (starting at $20) seem to be in addition to whatever plan you're on, is that correct? So, for example, you'd be looking at a minimum of $30 ($10 being the cheapest sim plan, plus $20 for the cheapest roaming plan), have I got that right?
cheapest $10 plan is also for 365 days:Yes. Although the roaming packs are valid for 365 days.

You might want to do the sums on a cheaper package and supplement with a Data only eSIM. One for the UK or a Euro regional plan would be something like US$5-10 for 7-15 days per 1 to 2 GB.Thanks @MollyJones and @MEL_Traveller for your feedback.
We will be travelling to Singapore, Europe and the UK. So it looks like perfect for me
I originally thought to get the $70 pack. 9GB 100 mins and 60 SMS. Maybe I will not need it, although will use it for gps for 2 week’s driving in the UK and it does last 365 days
Thanks. As I pressed “Post reply” I thought the “speed” bit was redundant as I’d already said I‘d probably use a 3rd party eSIM for data…Can't answer for the speed, but it worked everywhere in western Europe plus singapore and India.
only used data rarely, but it was fine for say accessing email or internet banking, Google maps. Didn't try to stream movies or anything.

Yes, that was our reading of the bundles - that there’s effectively a “rollover” of unused credits (data, calls and text).It is widely believed that an Amaysim Interntional roaming pack has a validity of 365 days. Users of these packs who have data, minutes or SMSs remaining can extend their validity beyond the 365 days by purchasing another pack, which might even be smaller/cheaper than the original pack. Amaysim call it "stacking". It took me three phone calls to Amaysim Customer Service before I got an operator who knew about this option. I paid for a new pack in the same phone call, and my account now shows the extra data, minutes and SMSs, and a new expiry date 365 days from now. Happy!
