Currently I'm in Portugal and SWMBO is in UK doing Grandmother babysitting duties.
Both got SIM only contracts with 3.
Now find i can phone her but her calls to me go straight to voicemail.
Is there any company that is still offering free roaming in EU?
Being trying to investigate - all are subject to fair usage policy but "WIRED" say Sky Mobile and Tesco mobile and Giffgaff are not introducing charges. I suspect the article is out of date.
On checking and if I'm reading info correctly Sky mobile is £6 pd for roaming! Giffgaff also has a cost and talk about a "Goodybag" which I think is a invoice limit you set up on your account for EU calls Tesco is 25p p minute for Portugal to UK.
Anyone got actual experience and actual costs of the various UK mobile providers?
It appears Whats App is going to get even more usage in future!
There appears to be some add on plans for Expats - Lobster mainly for Spain (but it covers Portugal) and Devyce - both talk about keeping your original number but they can give you an additional one. These are about €7.99pm upwards but better tan Sky mobile at £6pd. Anyone know anything about them?
