Their offer can be a bit tricky to navigate though. I found that you can get a phone SIM with a data pack for 15 quid, netting you 4GB of data (plus calls and messages) or a data SIM at the same price... with just 2GB.

I used 3 Mobile UK when I was there and even got to use the data allowance while in France with the "Feel At Home" feature.
And also learn how to use Offline Google Maps - it worked on my spare iPhone which has no SIM but because of inbuilt GPS it still worked with the downloaded maps.

), but I think Telstra are doing a fine job in AU compared to the number of problematic areas I've encountered in the UK.UK infrastructure overall, both digital and traditional, seems to be behind the times compared to many, many parts of continental Europe.
