Which network is best for data roaming?

Doublespresso

I'm planning to go on holiday and as I have USB dongles from all the UK networks, I was wondering which is best for Europe in terms of cost and coverage.

I will be going to Portugal.
Thanks

Have you considered buying a 3G dongle in Portugal?

I agree, Vodafone have a network there, so I would get one of those. If not Vodafone UK have an offer of £9.99 per day, for 50mb usage.

Thanks.

- How do I go about getting the £9.99 deal? Are there designated SIM cards for this?
- How does it compare with buying a Portuguese SIM & Dongle?

You can find details of Portugal SIMs and networks on http://www.prepaidgsm.net/en/portugal.html

There isn't much on PPGSM about data, but you can click on the logos to go to network websites and try looking there

And this thread there might be useful - it looks like he went for TMN with both 3g and wi-fi allowances
