VOXI dropping EU roaming, anywhere better to go?

pjread

Been quite happy with Voxi to be honest, paying £10/m for 15GB, but just got a message that they're going to be charging for european roaming from 27 May.

Of course I could just suck up the £2/day but I'm likely to do a fair bit of travel and this is MSE, so any ideas who's doing similar that includes roaming still?  (bonus points if any include USA/Africa or wider at this price point...)

Lebara & Lycamobile still showing EU roaming

Tesco Mobile still have European roaming at no extra cost. Seriously expensive for USA 'tho.

Yeah, deals seem to have dried up but I have another contract with them already, may nudge them to match that for a second one if the below doesn't work out.

That's interesting - I'd discounted them as they seem to have removed (inclusive) roaming on contract deals, seems odd they'd leave it on PAYG only but that does indeed seem the case, & they cover USA too which is great. 

I dropped them when I moved house a few years ago due to poor indoor signal, but assume they have either sorted out or have wifi calling by now; will order a PAYG sim to test!

Yes wifi calling on my payg sim works great,and has done ever since i joined three in 2017

@alanjones60 did anyone verify that the 3 Data Reward SIM used Go Roam rates when abroad? Seem to remember a thread about it.

My payg sim is the data reward sim. It still has the 3p a min 2p a text and 1p per mb rates,although they said it wud change it never did. it did use go roam rates as well

I've been looking into this too.
I have Virgin at home and although it's only 100Mb now, a free boost back to 200Mb could be nice.  Wonder if I could push them to the next tier.

The ONLY problem I have with their contracts are the annual price rises.  No thanks.  I generally stay on 30-day deals for over 2 years but the psychology of being trapped in one puts me off.

That's why Smarty seem to be one of the winners, but potentially dodgy signal

It will be interesting to see how long they keep it inclusive on PAYG. The US Roaming is certainly enticing. I was looking at Smarty (which is part of Three) as doing 60Gb for £10pm including EU roaming (same 12Gb fair use cap in place that Three impose) but USA not included. Not sure when my next US trip is but thought of paying £5 day for data roaming is not great
