thanks,
did you bug Piranha about charging for unanswered calls?
Have been using abroadband for data, but roamline is cheaper in many places. Wish they'd bring out some data bundles.
Wouldn't be surprised if there is more price competition now, with EU carriers lowering their rates.
Problem chasing all these lower rates is that I've now got a stash of cards all with some credit on them!

I live in the US, and use PAYG orange sim card when visiting. Want to be able to use it throughout Europe.

It is indeed a rip-off, but the altneratives that you suggest are available only within the UK. This topic is about roaming, i.e. outside the UK.
