E-Tron has run out (the one that came with the car)

Many PAYG ones now seem to have “use within 3 months” any good deals that don’t have a short expiry?

Can you put your physical one from your phone into the car and have the same one as an e-SIM on your mobile?

Either that or contact your mobile provider and see if they'll do a linked / second SIM on the same number.

That's what I was going to mention. I didn't realise there was actually space for a physical SIM in recent cars; my 2018 Volvo had a slot for one under the boot floor but I've not had cause to look for one since.

My Audi often tells me it's downloaded all the updated sat nav maps, so god knows how much data it requires. I'd imagine 120GB is sufficient for a year but who knows?
