Foreign Data - do only T-Mobile do this?

Hi

Its upgrade time!
Im happy with T-mobile but am not completely thrilled with the deal theyve offered me so Im sniffing around the competition

The thing they do well however is a capped bundle of 50MB of data for a tenner when I visit Europe which will not ever be exceeded unless I buy another bundle

So basically I can surf and email whilst knowing exactly how much its costing

As I go to France and Germany regularly Id love to carry on with this but I cant clearly see that the other operators do this
Sure they will sell me a package but when I go over it they automatically switch to the premium foreign data rate which for example is 70p per MB for Orange :rotfl:

Anyone any ideas?

    It's not such a good deal. £10 for 50MB works out at around £200/GB, whereas the normal price is around £10/GB. You'd be better off with a local SIM card.

    All the other operators offer these kinds of deals.

    Three offer UNLIMITED mobile data in the EU for £5/day.
