Branners Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Voda do an 'unlimited' roaming data tarrif for £90 a month I believe...obviously it is limited, to something like 5gb, but it seems they can all get away with saying unlimited when its not. your best bet is find a mobile sim with data in the country you are going to and use that. even PayG would be better than trying to roam a UK data sim.

supra_surj Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 T-mobiles is 15 per month with a 3gb fair use polivy which means that even if you go over there no additional charges unlike the other networks. The policy is just there to stop people downloading movies all day. Plus all wifi hotspots in uk are free as they are controlled by t-mobile. Roaming tariff is 1 £1.50 per mb.

Nathman Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Be very careful using these sticks abroad, one of my customers let his daughter use his for two weeks while they were on holiday as she was doing her university work. He came back to a £3,000 bill for data usage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
