In the past when I have used my contract dongle in Europe I have used the Vodaphone tarrif which gave you 50mb daily download for £10 a day. This new tarrif looks interesting. The only problem with 25mb allowance as it could be swallowed up by windows updates! I did use the dongle once on te recent trip but have not yet had the bill so I will watch with interst what they charge me!

Update before you leave the UK and then turn off automatic updates should solve that problem. I would be interested in a dongle with this tarrif. Is that contract or PAYG. Dont really want another contract

When you are away for a couple of months at a time its not so easy to turn essential updates off. Obviously if you use campsite Wifi that should take care of most updates but if you forget you could use all of your allowance!

Vodafone generally only allow data roaming with their contract dongles but there is an 'occasional contract' which cost £3 a month and then £2 a day in the UK and I assume roaming at the rates mentioned previously above.

Thanks David. I will look into occasional contracts.
