    I'm undecided as to what data plan to go for in terms of the iPad2.

    Are there any providers who offer international roaming data included in their packages?

    Thanks in advance.

    Vodafone do plans that allow 50mb of roaming in Europe for 2.99 per day and 10mb outside Europe. 50mb would probably get you an hour or two of browsing.

    It used to be better. I have the original Vodafone billpay ipad plan which gives me 500mb for 3.99 anywhere in the world. Won't be giving that account up if I can help it!

    Three is ideal for UK, Italy, Oz roaming but useless just about everywhere else

    I don't think O2 or Meteor have anything useful.

    It's a big problem as the ipad is ideal for travelling.

    Thanks; can't seem to find any useful info on Three's or Vodafone's websites. Might have to call in to their stores.

    I have a 3 PAYG SIM for my iPad and I'm getting on grand with the 500MB for 5 euro per month.

    Never come near that usage as most of the time I'm near wifi. It's also great for my frequent trips to the UK.

    However when I go further afield I either use a PAYG Vodafone SIM (so 3 euro a day for 50MB/10MB depending where it is) or if staying somewhere for more than a few days I'll pick up a local sim.
