Orange adjust data roaming prices
Day rate's better value than the bundles

Orange has introduced new mobile broadband roaming prices that penalise bulk-buying.
Take the rates for Europe. Choose to pay £3 a day and you'll get 30MB to use up by midnight each day. That's 10p a megabyte. Use it for 30 days and you'll pay £90 in all and get 900MB of data.
Pick the 30-day bundles, available for £15, £50 and £150 offering allowances of, respectively, 30, 150 and 500MB, and you'll pay 50p, 33p or 30p for each megabyte.
If you don't choose one of these bundles, you'll pay 59p a megabyte if you're on a PAYG package, or £69.6p is you have a monthly subscription.
The out-of-bundle price covers the whole world - different bundles are available for different prices, depending on where you'll be travelling to. The 30MB daily bundle, for example, runs from £6 to £15 - still cheaper, on a per megabyte basis, than the out-of-bundle pricing, though that soon ceases to be the case when you take out the big 30-day packages, which run from £20 (30MB, Zone 1) to £400 (500MB, Zone 3). ®

Local SIMS
I just buy a SIM card for whatever country I'm in. I know that wouldn't suit everyone, but it's considerably cheaper than roaming. Obviously you need an unlocked phone to do this.

This still sounds like a bum deal, I want to get to the point where I don't have to switch SIM cards just to keep the baseline traffic flowing on my smartphone, let alone browsing/downloading.
Weren't supermarkets pulled up for that recently?
Buying in bulk sounds cheaper, but often not.
If they make the more expensive one look cheaper than the other, they can get hauled through the coals.
