UK - Three offer roaming in the EU for £5 per day

the Independent reports the new roaming offer from 3 (Three) at £5 per day in the EU.

It quotes Ernest Doku, a telecoms expert at uSwitch.com:

Three was the first to bring unlimited data to UK customers, and now is leading the way in bringing affordable unlimited data to UK customers using their phones in the EU. The Euro Internet Pass should prove a sure-fire hit with holidaymakers, particularly for those who aren't going to be holidaying anywhere near a Wi-Fi hotspot

Mike Odysseas, the managing director of telecommunications provider Odyssey Systems said:

My personal solution is never to use the mobile network except for receiving texts. Do not even reply if not in a Wi-Fi area and only use hotels with free Wi-Fi. Phone calls can be made and received over Wi-Fi using various packages including Odyssey SIP clients or Skype, for example. This way you can ensure you don't get hung by your provider
