    hopefully....... i mean Voda passport is good but if they matched 3, with passport and stop the clock it be a winner



    sorry I meant put Austria in there, its good for regular Ireland roamers, grab a payg 3 sim - free incoming calls and cheap calls home ( cheaper than roaming with most the others )

    Now on participating networks – 3 Italy, 3 Sweden, 3 Denmark, 3 Austria, 3 Hong Kong, 3 Australia and 3 Ireland - you can use your inclusive minutes when calling back to the UK. And it's even more affordable as we charge per second when making calls on these networks. Plus you can also use your allowance to make video calls to the UK.

    Once you've used your allowance or if you're a Pay As You Go customer, the standard charges for calls or messages back to the UK on these networks are 20p per min for voice calls, 10p per text, 50p per min for video calls, 25p per picture message and 50p per video message.


    ...

    You will not be charged to receive calls (or messages) while you are on the participating networks.

    Using data services such as browsing Planet 3 on participating networks will also be at the UK rate. Your usage when on a participating network will still count toward any fair use limits, just like when you are in the UK.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    So it seems! :)

    I thought it strange that it wasn't mentioned and did search through to see if it was, but couldn't see it. Oh well!
