Vodafone has announced that from 1 July (presumably under the new EU caps) that users will be able to get 25MB of data on their phone for only £4.99 in Europe.

This means you can check your emails, surf some sites and generally catch up without a massive charge (although a fiver is still quite a bit).

Plus, if you're taking your laptop over to the continent, you can get 50MB for £9.99
