I am unsure if I'll bother. Riding abroad is not something that I anticipate, but being reliant on a mobile phone doesn't fill me with confidence. I'll think about it
I've had a good search ($urfshark is pretending that I am in the UK now) and they are all too big.. I don't want that. I always have a mobile with me so if I get anything (and it's not a given that I will) I would get a Beeline. Not a perfect solution but I cannot see anything that is. Using up my dsts allowance is a concern as O2 don't tell you. Maybe it's because I was in Spain, so they just thought, "Feck Spain, the Spanish and anyone over there"! it's not a given that I'll stay with O2 but it's getting stuck at the Bath Park & Ride car park. When I get the Beeza, I'll amble over there and check. I think that Vodafone may have sorted themselves out by now. That's a point. Mobile reception around Bath mobile phone reception is terrible. So still unsure.
@PerryL That 150K you mention - is that KB? If so that is piffling and may be just what your VPN is using. See also my suggestion for using GiffGaff on your ‘iphones are shit’ thread.
My monthly allowance is 1 gigabyte. That's always been fine in pre-iphone times. I have bought another 500 megabits this month after the data run out. What I think that it was doing was defying me and uploading the photographs to the Apple cloud. Now I don't dare take it out and photograph anything. With the phone camera being ultra high res, so photo graphs were massive. If I uploaded a photo here and it went to the Apple Cloud, that was 40% of my allowance gone. Giffgaff is really O2 whom I am with. They are just more expensive. If I move to anyone, it will be Vodafone. I just need to check coverage for myself. Lying about network coverage isn't unheard of.
