I will be traveling to The UK and a couple European countries (Iceland and Spain so far). Does anybody know what would be the best option to get 3G/4G data while traveling there (especially in The UK)?
In the past I have used international data roaming pack from Virgin Mobile and Woolworths Mobile and they proved to be inefficient and at the end of the day will cost even more.
There's a UK 3 SIM offer in the deals right now.
For £18.45 (≈ A$30.25), GiffGaff prepaid SIM card with £25 credit included. You can then buy a "£20 goodybag" which gives you always on data (tether up to 6GB), unlimited calls and unlimited sms. GiffGaff uses O2 on 4G network: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/giffgaff-UK-prepaid-SIM-card-25-C…?
I lived in Scotland for 9 months last year and tried multiple carriers - 3 Mobile was the cheapest and most reliable in city areas - 12GB data for around $40 AUD a month. Was great for travelling as could use my data in both the countries you mentioned and many more.

Thanks a lot for the information, I'll do more research on this
