Help With Tariff

I am a very low call and text user, probably 4 calls and 10 or so texts. I am currently with Asda Mobile where the tariff is;
calls 8p er min
text 4p per text
and data 20p per mb

I am considering buying a SamsunG Galaxy S which would lead to a fairly high usage when receiving email and occasional GPS usage.

The main complication is that I only live in the UK for around six months per year and so a yearly or longer tariff would not make be viable; when in Spain I use a Spanish sim.

Obviously, the cost of 20p per mb would run very expensive; having said that what would a mb constitute, say in emails or internet pages.

Trust someone can help.

    I think in your circumstances, going for Giffgaff will make much better sense. for £10 you get 150 minues, unlimited text and truly unlimited web. the website is http://giffgaff.com

    It is difficult to put a size on usage, but generally speaking, for most smart phones, 500mb-1gb of data is more than enough, esp. if you are using wi-fi at home, and where available outside.
