I'm not sure I believe what Vodafone say. I had occasion to go to
Brussels for a weekend recently. Having read horror stories in the
press about exorbitant data roaming charges abroad, I asked Vodafone
how much it would cost to use a contract 3G datacard in Belgium.
Their reply (in writing!) was that it would cost a fixed 8 pounds 50 a
day provided that I use their affiliate, Belgacom Mobile / Proximus.

So I did. When the bill arrived, it was for 581 pounds for perhaps
three hours use.

They've taken more than a month so far not to respond to the
subsequent complaint. I'm so glad I took the trouble to ask in
advance.

Mike.
