Call her provider. These days phones can usually just work in Europe in my experience, with a small fee. If you tell them you’re going they can let you know what options they have. Last time I think I paid $10/day for AT&T to just work normally in Prague. Way more convenient than finding a sim over there in the airport or something.

That is bad advice. $10/day is really expensive, especially for 3 weeks of travel. Those plans work on the assumption you don’t know better.

You can do $10/week in many cases.

You should never have to buy a SIM at the airport, or anywhere really. Instead, download an e-SIM, tons of different apps for it. Then just switch in your settings. Pretty much every phone made since 2018 is compatible with it. And most folks have phones that are less than 5 years old.

My iPhone 8 was manufactured pre-2018 and I'm not keen on downloading random apps, but I suppose this might work better for OP. You're right most people aren't using antique phones like me.
