Best PAYG for a month + Euro data coverage?

tigerstyle · 5 Apr 2012 at 06:47

I'll be in the UK for a month later this summer so would like a temporary PAYG number to use and to provide data for navigation in the UK+Europe (will have a tomtom also but it's pretty old and out of date)

I've been keeping a TMobile PAYG number around, but just logged in to check the balance and the account has been deleted (******* didn't even email me to warn me, had about a tenner of credit in there)

What operator has the best deals for this kind of use? my trip is spanning mid August to mid September, would one of those giffgaff type deals just cover a calender month, meaning I would need two of the £10 deal things to cover my entire trip or does it give 30 days from purchase? Not even sure if it works in Europe, will check!

Hmmm GiffGaff is just £1.50/Mb when in the EU, annoyingly TMobile is supposed to be the cheapest with a £10 for 60Mb bundle.

For uk get Three sim with all data you can eat. I thinkmits £15

As for Europe I have no idea...tmbile does Euro boosters. For £10 you get 50mb for a week so not much.

cheers,

Three or TMobile look fairly decent options, unless giffgaff pull out a euro trick pretty soon!

Three is going to be a much better option than tmobile.

"Get 3000 texts and 300 minutes plus all-you-can-eat data for just £15. This comes preloaded on your SIM and will last for 30 day"

Mainly just for the unlimited data.

But the TMobile deal offers the best euro data package, so getting that three deal then another for Europe number would add to the hassle, the tmobile deal isn't too bad, I won't be powering throughthedata/texts anyway, just good to have a few free ones!

Appreciate the input though!
