Looking for some advice, going South Africa in November for 4 Weeks, phone contract is with 02 and they charge £6 a day to use text/minutes whilst over there, will be needing to keep in contact with Family whilst over there and I'm wondering whether anybody has any tips/ideas to bring the cost of this down or what others have done in similar situation. Had a quick google and thought about getting a sim on a different network but seems to be getting back to the daily charges which are all of a similar price once you go out or Europe. Any suggestion would be appreicted.
Thanks in advance.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51949612","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"laings86"},"datePublished":"2024-01-10T10:53:42.000Z","text":"I used airalo esim while on holiday, worked flawlessly"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51949306","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"rainbowwheel"},"datePublished":"2024-01-10T10:04:49.000Z","text":"An esim would work."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51955692","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"headfullofcrisps"},"datePublished":"2024-01-11T04:46:24.000Z","text":"Just got back from holiday in Thailand myself and used an eSIM while I was there, got the eSIM from TUI and it was g8, cost around £20 ish and gave me unlimited data and calls for 15 days…Voda wanted £6 odd a day to use my inclusive minutes, their greed is gunna push ppl away from them.
