Will non-EU roaming ever have a cheaper option?
I did look at ID - but seemed worse than Smarty.
e.g. Data is 30p a Meg roaming in the US (Smarty is 10p) - and couldn't see any bundles/caps to bring that down.
I think Three charges a flat £5 a day, to use your phone as you would at home (so no cap, other that whatever monthly limit you have). Was just thinking similar would be what people would want.
Three UK's £10 PAYG SIM only plan includes a level of inclusive roaming in 71 destinations worldwide. A little research is necessary to check the roaming terms for the destinations you're most likely visit.
If you set the plan to auto-renew, you'll get an extra 5GB/month of data in your plan's allowance.
Oh *&^&
I hadn't thought to look at Three's PAYG - I think that might have been what I should have gone with. Thanks for the pointer though.Despite setting up SMARTY, Three UK still have a small number of PAYG plans available.
All these plans have some kind of inclusive roaming allowed in 71 destinations worldwide - but do look at the destinations you're planning to visit before deciding.
The solution I used for roaming outside the EU was to purchase a cheap data only eSIM, and use this for my roaming data along with an add-on for my SMARTY SIM - just in case I needed to take a call or send a text while overseas.
