A good network to have pay as you go for a holiday?

trikidy

Looking for a sim card, just to top up £10-£15 to use while in Portugal.
I was looking at Lebara, as they seem to be cheap.
Has anyone any experience of a cheap rate for abroad in Europe?
Thanks

What network is your phone on and is it unlocked ?

trikidy

Yes its an unlocked phone so any sim can do. My local Co-Op sells all sims for 99p so any sim can do, just wondered which had a good tariff for a week abroad.

have you had a look at o2's my europe i know it costs for the bolt on but its ideal if you can get people to ring you instead of ringing them

You are not willing to use any sim on roaming, while you are at Portugal?

No idea what that means!

Just looked into it and I can add vodafone passport to my phone, 75p connection charges and then I can just use my minutes for the month. Doesn't seem too bad!
Anyone have any experience of this?

Why not buy a SIM from a local carrier and use that?

Yes that is what I planned on doing, but I was asking which provider to use, etc based on peoples experience.

The 4 main providers are listed here. Just see whatever one is the cheapest and has the coverage for where you are going:
