Hi, Not at all, I?m off to see relatives the other side of the planet ? just weird how coincidences happens. Then again, it?s a small world. I don?t know if you could negotiate something, but could O2 Ireland not do you a deal with O2 UK? The only reason I say this is because a couple of years back I was in the Netherlands for a while. I?m with T-Mobile UK and we did a cross deal with T-Mobile NL to what effectively came down to discarding all my roaming costs and data charges whilst I was there. It was not a deal they offered publically, just something I spent a fair bit of time negotiating with several offices and in several languages to boot. Having said that, roaming prices are set to come down again soon. Also, note that from 1 July an EU regulation is supposed to take effect which will bar charges being levied for people leaving you voicemail whilst you're roaming. You'll still have to pay to retrieve them though. LOL, for some reason I had it in my head you were coming over from New Zealand. I wonder where that came from? _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

You can call this on 08457 48 49 50 and select the TrainTracker option. there is a geographical number as well which is cheaper to call but I'll have to find this post back later. For cell phone use, T-Mobile are probably the best when it comes to data with a £1 per day of use and no charge for no use policy. O2 seems to be the most popular for pay as you go access for voice and text. HTH to start, and do enjoy your trip to the UK. Ironically, from your mail you may well arrive here just as I'm leaving for a month. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
