    What a difference a day makes, Plusnet have changed their web page since yesterday and the £5/month SIM only now says "Roam like at home". Previously said "UK only" on that plan!

    I've got a Sim Only from Three, been abroad a few times Europe and America, not been charged a bean. Although I couldn't make calls in Amercia to American numbers for some reason. Skype got me around that in the end

    That accounts for when I was looking yesterday it appeared that the £5 deal was UK only, but for £6 you got Europe which I thought about for a bit but then realised it'll be nearly a year before we travel so decided against it. Then when I went back to look at the £5 deal it had the Roam deal on it. Thought I'd imagined it.

    One thing I have noticed, with '3' they let you call another eu country for free whilst in an eu 'roam like at home' country.
    iDmobile charge you for calling another eu 'roam like at home' country whilst in the eu, only calls to UK and your current country are included.

    Are you sure? Since June 15th?

    If so, IDmobile would be violating the new regulations.

    "* You can use your minutes to call numbers in the UK or the same destination you're in. You'll be charged for calls to other non-UK destinations. These aren't included in your normal monthly allowance even when you're in the UK."

    About halfway down the page there is a table, it clearly shows that while in one of the roaming countries you will be charged if you call a country other than the UK or the country you are currently in.
