With Sosh you have unlimited texts/5 GB data in Europe roaming with some of their plans (15 days per year), with Free you also have texts and data in Europe (35 days per year). This type of roaming offers is becoming more and more common since Neelie Kroes announced the desire of fully free european roaming in the long term. | |

You do get some funny looks giving out a +44 number, and not all websites accept it, but other than that it works pretty well...! | |
