Having read Tim's review ordered a sim only O2 CONTRACT to cover unlimited use in NL and Belgium - My 3 sim covered France

O2 Travel offers 'unlimited' useage - but I shOuld have read the small print..

50mb is the starting point for throttling . I drove through France to Amsterdam and 50 minutes into Belgium - now on O2.... The iplayer radio feed for the election coverage stopped.

I complained to o2 that this was a tantamount to a 'con' - iplayer radio uses about 1 meg/minute..hardly excessive useage

I took several chats - to get my msg across - but they agreed to refund all charges and I have cancelled my sim only contract with them.

HOPEFULLY, 3 will form a partnership with providors in B and NL

Can anyone recommend a UK sim that one can pay for unlimited data in B and NL that works as well as 3 do in France..

    If you don't mind switching to local sims you could use Lebara or Lyca in NL, €10 for 1Gb/30day, probably similar in B.
