I've been very happy with Saily's e-sims when roaming in Spain, Andorra and our youth in Singapore and Canada, but they are data only I think. Works well and WhatsApp etc. keep working with your home number, but if you need actual texts/calls youay need other options (i.e. PAYG Sims).
I believe the telecos have had to sort out sharing if you're near the NI/RoI border?
