Having planned our trip to the Nth degree (obviously not!), someone mentioned that my current phone contract was going to be expensive as we're away for about 90 days in France, Spain, Portugal and possibly Italy from the 24th Feb. I'm currently with Orange on a sim only contract and I have an iPhone 5. I do NOT want data as we will tap into wifi on my laptop when available but I need the phone for family calls, emergencies and texting. Orange offer a £2.00 per day,only if you use it bundle, that kicks in the moment you make a call and you can make as many calls as you like up to an hour at a rate of 18ppm. The problem is that the £2.00 per day also applies to incoming calls and as I have no control over who calls me this could work out extremely expensive especially as I seem to be getting the PPI calls more frequently now.
I have been looking into pre-paid European sims but the more I delve the harder it seems to get.
Does anyone have a pay once, fix all solution or something that they have tried which would be of benefit?
Many thanks.
