thanks, yes, I have a pair of piranha sims, in fact, I often use their VOIP even without the sim! But I find their texting unreliable with the UK numbers, some issues about changing the primary. Same for Truphone. for the UK, I tend to carry 2 phones, the Tmo and a local orange sim I keep active. But the problem is more when I'm in France, Israel, Netherlands. I suppose once Euro roaming is free, we'll be fine with a UK Orange sim throughout Europe. Even if Schengen comes to a sad end!
