Hi, apologies if you have already covered my question many times already. I am coming to Europe for 7 weeks starting and finishing in France and I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900i. Stated bands supported for 3 and 4G are

·   3G UMTS
B1 (IMT 2,100MHz), B2 (PCS 1,900MHz), B5 (US 850MHz Cellular), B8 (GSM 900MHz)

·   4G LTE
B1 (2,100), B2 (1,900), B3 (1,800), B5 (850), B7 (2,600), B8 (900), B40 (2,30I0), B28 (700)

I have read the article above a couple of times, but not being totally au fait with all the technical details I am not 100% sure if what I intend to do will work. I particularly need phone coverage for France,  Norway, Denmark, Russia, Czech Republic and Germany with data as well (although I won't rely on constant data - will mostly use wifi at accommodation). I propose to purchase a Free prepaid micro sim for 30 euros at a kiosk and then top up online for a second month once the first month (30 days?) is up, using the same Australian credit card that I used at the kiosk. We will be in Germany when the 1st month is up - so won't be able to go to a shop. Is this a good (maybe best) option? Great info in the article, thanks !
