Best way to roam (mobile phone) on holiday? (self.askuk)

Hi, we haven't been abroad on a family holiday since pre-brexit. We've also now got two teenagers who are glued to their phones. While I'm sure we'll discourage them a bit, they'll still use their phones. With all the new charges for roaming, is there a good way to roam while away - or do people go for PAYG sims from the local country?

We're going to Madeira in this case, but would be interested to hear if there's any general advice.

There's a breakdown of roaming charges by network on the MoneySavingExpert site - you might not actually need to do much.

Thanks - I'm with 3 so I think I need to sort something out - but might just get a temporary GiffGaff SIM as they seem to be roaming friendly
