Hi We're travelling next year to 3 countries. In the first we're given a mifi gadget so won't need roaming. After that we'd like to buy a Lebara roaming package for each country.

I've just noticed that they've tightened things up yet more and now you only get the unlimited minutes and texts when you spend £10 on the 25gb boost. I've always assumed that unlimited texts and calls must cost them almost nothing as they have seemed to be only about £1 or £2 more per month than a data boost until now,…

What is the best offer for very infrequent use of a mobile phone?
