Best price for texting when abroad

Looking for some help deciding the cheapest way to send texts when
abroad in Europe.

(Has to be pay as you go and sent from a phone as texts; so no java
apps/internet methods)

I know with O2 contract you can use your inclusive texts when abroad -
1 text from abroad using 4 of your UK bundle. So...If I topped up an
O2 pay as you go phone with, say £10, and qualified for the reward
giving me 300 free texts, could I use these in the same way?

Any other good text offers/bundles worth looking at?

Thanks

MMS messages are generally cheaper to send than SMS when you are abroad, there
is no obligation to attach anything.

I am on t-mobile flext, EU roaming MMS messages cost 20p, which is taken out
of the flext allowance. As I rarely use my monthly allowance, they are in
effect free.

O2 PAYG inclusive allowance is for uk texts only.

How about a O2 simplicity SIM AFAIK that would be the same as O2 PAYM,
so, as you said 1 text from abroad uses 4 of your UK bundle.

Virgin's "Pay As You Go by Direct Debit" (basically, their PAYG tariff on
a pay monthly setup) has roaming texts at 25p/text. Normal PAYG it's
35p/text.
