Yep. You can buy a new package/plan ahead of time (again and again). But why should you? For UK consumption it's cheaper to buy a larger pack (like all you can eat data) upfront. For roaming all volume is capped at 12GB per month regardless how many packs you buy.

Three UK had to loosen some tethering restrictions for their "all you can eat pack" after Ofcom (UK regulator) started an investigation. It's very much disputed whether a general tethering ban violates EU net neutrality laws. So they seem to have allowed mobile hotspot use on their largest pack at £35 now.
