What’s the best way to have unlimited data coverage when traveling abroad to Europe? T-Mobile doesn’t seem to have the best rates for that ($15/MB)

Unless you have a super old plan, T-Mobile has unlimited text and data in 210 countries.. I pay $65 a month and have always had this option + a 10g hot spot..

Traveled extensively globally with t-mobile and have always been fine with the free slow data. It’s good enough for Google maps and texts then would just hop on wifi wherever I was to get faster speeds.

Ask T-Mobile to unlock your phone and get a local sim once you land

1000% use a local SIM. They often have them in vending machines at airports. Rates in Europe are so much cheaper than in the US

How long of a trip?

Just 1 week

$10 a day with Verizon on your existing plan. ATT probably had something similar.

I have T-Mobile unfortunately

You can buy an international data plan with t mobile for a lot cheaper than the rate you said, call and ask. I paid less than $100 for 10 GB for a 1 week trip

Local sim, pay as you go

If you have a newer iPhone (XS or newer) you can get an eSIM for international travel. I can confirm DENT works well and have heard Airalo is decent too.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
