My wife and I are both on 3 Post Paid Australia and will be travelling through the 3 countries of UK, Italy and Austria. What is 3 Like Home like? Are we still better off getting SIM cards in those countries? We would like cheap calls to each other, good mobile data and free incoming calls.

I don't know how the 3 Like Home Australia offer is, but the Italian one is very good (including data and minute/text bundles), so you usually don't need to buy a local card. Anyway 3 coverage is not the best, just pay attention to be on their network.

Coverage is a bit patchy?
