Three is even more interesting because they have "three like home" where you will pay the same on all the three networks, so if you have 1 gb data at home you can also use it on (most of) the other three networks. see for example three Italy:
PrePaidGSM: H3G (Italy)
The really good thing about Base is that they charge you by the kb. So if you use msn, text messaging on the internet or other programs that will only use a little bit of data you will only pay what you really used. |
I'm aware of how much better the deals are in Europe. My questions applied to use of a foreign (doesn't have to be European) SIM in Canada. If I were travelling about Europe, I'd probably have Vodafone Passport & 3 Like Home & use the latter wherever a 3 network is around and the former elsewhere.
Is charging by the kilobyte that rare? My home operator charges by the kilobyte abroad. Japan's operators charge by the packet.
