Hey all,

With the season a couple days away, I needy rugby league fix! Problem is I don't think any channels (maybe spike?) show it over here.

Does anyone know where I can watch games online?
 
I swear they show footy there cos my dad's friend said he watches it. NFI what channel though, but I'm pretty sure he's got cable.

What about Setanta?

NFI online.
 
Ask the nearest Australian Embassy. :loool:

There could be a few bars that show OS sports.
 
I know of a legitimate solution, well kinda.

Get an Australian VPN, get the iPhone NRL app or Android app, connect to the VPN, pay the subscription and you can watch all the games.
Not a free solution but it should work fine.
 
Hey nerds @Kimlo @Nashy @Porthoz

I’m about to go on my big European Vacay, looking at buying an eSIM - how many gigs does everybody reckon I should buy if I will be doom scrolling, watching footy, feeding the kids x 2 iPad YouTube habits only have access to wifi for 5days etc etc

I've been with THREE in the UK for about ten years. The £13.50 monthly 100GB data pack includes 12GB roaming in 70 countries, including all of Europe. I normally buy the £10 pack.

It also works in Australia like I'm in the UK. I can make an receive calls to my UK number as if I'm there.


Friend of mine who's not on THREE swears by this lot:

Do you reckon 20-30GB would be enough for a month?

@Fozz is the travel sim nerd I think
 
A sim in Europe will be valid in all EU countries except the UK. Don't forget the Brits have "brexited" and as such, their operators are no longer obliged to offer free roaming with the rest of Europe.

How much you pay and how much data allowance you get will depend on which country you enter in Europe.
Of course, if your phone is capable of it, the advance purchase of an e-sim is probably a better choice.
I think Vodafone has excellent coverage and is pretty competitively priced. Here are their data only plans:


Also pretty good and very flexible is Bytesim, which I have used recently in the US (T-Mobile) and Australia (Vodafone). I don't know which carrier they use in Europe though.


How much data you use is totally up to you, but if you and your kids are going to video stream a lot, be prepared to spend!
Vodafone charges about $150 for 150 GB over 90 days.
Bytesim will charge you over $120 for unlimited data over 30 days.

Of course, you can try to find a balance between actually enjoying the places you visit and the videos you watch... 🤪

I can also vouch for Three.

Did a lot of research on this when I went to England and Europe in 2017, and Three was by far the best in terms of value and their coverage was excellent across multiple countries.

Easy as to get it all going - no mucking around required.

THREE has changed its plans a few times since then. For a while, you couldn't get Go Roam on a contract. But now, the contracts cover more countries than the PAYG. Their plans aren't really aimed at foreign travellers, but Brits who venture abroad. I probably wouldn't go in that direction unless I were spending extended time in the UK.

THREE has also swallowed 02 and are about to merge with Vodafone.
