So not many real working alternatives anymore (the rest of the post in a new thread ->

That said um +44 outside the eu might still be a lot cheaper than using your standard sim. But it's nices to have 1 sim for where you are going, not having to swtich card every country you visit.
I have ordered the easyroam card, will hopefully get it today and enjoy free roaming again. UM is really pricing themselves out of the market this way. But the biggest question is, why did they do this.
Was it needed to cover increasing network cost ? were they making to little money ? Time will tell.
