Talkmobile 60Gb for £7.95 - Vodafone network - never had any issue with them....

Yup that does look like a tempting deal.

On another hand, if roaming in the EU is important to you, it's worth keeping in mind Talkmobile's fair-use limit during roaming is only 5GB, much smaller than Lebara's (30GB), 1p Mobile's (14GB), or iD Mobile's (usually 30GB but currently unlimited ie up to your UK allowance).

I've never seen a "cheap" provider offer unlimited roaming and I'm often looking. One of the reasons I'm still with O2. Can you point to details of the ID mobile offering as on their website it still just says 30Gb

I agree it's confusing - if you visit their fair usage policy page (https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy) it has a banner saying there's a promotion going on where the limit is waived. On another hand most other pages on the website when mentioning roaming indicate the fair usage limit is 30GB.

Dodgy elipse at the end of that id web address

13 sets of Ts&Cs for pay monthly! Their (ID) website is a bit of a shambles to be honest, and so couched in get-outs that they can remove the unlimited for anyone who actually uses it. 

Shame there are no providers who actually do flat roaming sims, so I'll stick to buying a local PAYG sim when I travel where there are genuine unlimited options
