Depends on the coverage available in the area you are visiting
you can check coverage and find out prices here

both T mobile and O2 have a £2 a day option, £7 for a week or £15 for a month – T mobile DOES NOT charge if you accidentally go over the limit – O2 DOES charge and it can be very expensive.
If you read the user reviews, you get the impression that all service providers are utter rubbish, unreliable and overpriced….
