Overseas SIM card data only

[ffhound]

Hi all
I'm just about to head overseas for 4 weeks visiting Hong Kong, uk, France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Czechia and Singapore. I'm looking for a good value data card with say 3-5gb of data that can be used in all these countries.
Can anyone recommend a good multination data only SIM? I plan to use a Skype telephone number with the SIM so have no need of a telephone SIM.

Cheers Peter

Assuming HK is the first stop worth looking at some of the offerings their.

From memory 3 has some roaming focussed SIMs with decent amounts of data.

For under 1GB I'd recommend Flexiroam but it gets expensive at 3+GB

That’s for a normal phone SIM. There is a link to another page for tablets (Explorer Travel SIM Card | 71 Countries | Data-Only | 12GB | 365 Days).

I used these guys in January and they were great - dataGO prepaid international and roaming SIM cards for NZ US EU Asia
I had the 3 UK card, one for my and one for my wife, 12GB each

Also Optus currently has their $50 12 Month sim only plan on special for $40. You get 4GB of roaming data in Zone 1 countries plus unlimited calls/SMS - pretty good value if you travel a bit

I ended up getting this because it also covers Hong Kong and Singapore (my stopovers)

You have to watch out for some of these SIM cards as they have to be activated in their country of origin first (UK for instance).

I have recently swapped over to the new Optus SIM only plan at the discounted $40/mth and it has worked well internationally so far (excluding the absolute incompetence on the contractual side of things).
