Is the PAYG Web and Walk package on T-mobile where you pay £1 a day for near enough unlimited GPRS usage available when you are roaming abroad?

T-mobiles website is absolutely awful for finding out information

If not, does anyone know what the cheapest PAYG data plan is when roaming?

Its pretty clear if you read the small print....

"Relax web 'n' walk, Flext web 'n' walk and U-Fix web 'n' walk price plans provide unlimited internet browsing on mobile handsets in the UK."

"Additional charges apply for use outside the UK."

Doesn't that work out to be £5 per mb?

That's way too expensive. Considering T-Mob do unlimited for around £7.

Voda are less than £3 per mb.

Looking on the Voda website though on PAYG it says:

Non live! pages 0.73p per KB

isn't that nearly £7 per MB ?

I think I would leave the mobile and find an Internet cafe.... there are no UK networks offering reasonable roaming rates for data presently.
