I fancy a new device so I'm looking around at what might be going in terms of early upgrades etc. One thing though is that I'd like to tweak my contract a little bit... Ideally what I'm after is around 2Gb data, 1000 texts, 100minutes. However... I'd also like a plan where I can roam in Europe for a few days a month for a £1/£2 fixed fee so I don't have to worry about charges but can still use my email on my personal phone without living in fear of the bill!

Any suggestions? The best I've found was a fixed cap of £3 a day, but I wondered what else might be out there...

Cheers guys!
 
Have a look at 3 they don't charge any extra for being in a few European countries and are pretty cheap on the others iirc.
 
Yea, unfortunately their country list is a bit random. The places I'm specifically after are Germany, Italy, Spain. The 3 prices I've seen are still a per-mb rate, which will be horribly expensive if I make an error and let something update!

It's only really where Hutchison have a presence and so is a bit sparse.
 
Vodafone are the £3 a day deal and it is excellent, I have used it heavily. Don't know if there is anything better out there,mind.

Italy is one of the free countries, it's a scheme called feel at home just use your contract data, calls and text as per contract my son was there last week and used his contract allowances.

I spoke to 3 earlier. Its £5 a day in some EU countries for unlimited data. Not bad really

Went to Holland recently and it was £1/20mb for 24 hours or £3 for 100mb/24 hours.

Not bad really. Any more than 3 or 4 days and I'd look for a local sim card.
