Firstly , yes i would rather the kids left their phones behind when going on holiday but we have tried this before with dire consequences
My 2 eldest kids would like unlimited data while on holiday in the summer but i am obviously very concerned with the cost.
Currently they are on Talk Mobile and Vodafone contracts which don't end until October and i do not want to upgrade them at the moment.
Can i get a pre paid sim card which will work in these "locked" phones for when we go to the Canaries in the summer?
I have looked online but the sim cards are for unlocked phones.
Vodafone also seems to be an issue as they only offer the £3 per day offer which only covers 100mb per day.
Also , i'm not sure how much they (mostly he) will need or use.
It will be for when he just wants to sit about the pool watching the odd you tube link , facebook video , uploading pictures etc. I realise that there will be wifi available but we all know about holiday wifi
Can i unlock an iphone currently under contract , use another simcard then return to using my normal sim card when i get home ?

With it being so far into the contract you shouldn't have much of a problem getting codes from the company to unlock them although Vodafone might charge.
As to a SIM. I keep on thinking I should get a Spanish pay as you go but I think they're quite pricey in Spain and the Canarys quite literally a law unto themselves!
For 2 of them it could be an option to unlock one or even use a spare/older unlocked phone on the SIM you choose and use it as a mobile hot spot for the other(s). Be careful though as some SIM deals don't allow them to be used as a hot spot.Space to let

Have a look at this if you're looking for multiple connections and unlimited downloads.
Definitely works ok in Europe.

i looked earlier and the 100mb a day limit is pay as you go only. If they are in a contract it will be whatever data allowanace they have for that.

I don't know why I thought he would need unlimited .
I might just do that with his as he has 500mb but it's still dear at £42 for 14 days.
I thought it would be a simple case of popping in a SIM cardNo Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

Or buy an unlocked used MiFi on ebay and stick in either a prepay 3 mobile broadband sim card or a Spanish sim card.
