No longer are Orange UK subscribers chained to absurd per-MB roaming charges or unnecessary monthly plans. Instead, they can shell out £3-a-day (about $5) for 30MB of data -- which is plenty for checking e-mail and doing some light browsing. If you don't use any data then you don't get charged, but go over that limit and you're back to the normal £3.07-per-MB rate.
It's a perfect option for the traveler who only spends a week or two abroad at a time, and it closes the gap with fellow UK provider Vodafone, which offers a £2-per-day, 25MB option. Now, if only others (especially our friends here in the US) would offer sensible roaming plans of their own.
