Question Verizon Plan vs. Local SIM for Europe?

We're traveling to Portugal, France, and Spain for 7 weeks in February and March, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to stay connected. I have Verizon, but I'm wondering if their international plan is worth it compared to getting a local SIM card. Have any of you used either option while traveling across Europe? How was your experience with data coverage and costs? Any recommendations would be super helpful!

For a 7-week trip across multiple countries, a local SIM card might be your best bet. Verizon's international plans can get pricey over time, especially for data-heavy usage. In Europe, local SIMs are affordable and offer great coverage. Look for providers like Vodafone or Orange—they work seamlessly across Portugal, France, and Spain. Just make sure your phone is unlocked before you go!
