Which new mobile plan?

    Next month my 2yr contract with vodafone is up. I am currently on a €60p/mth plan that includes unlimited texts & data, 15gb internet and 100 international minutes. I also get spotify premium. My phone is a iphone 6 16gb. The phone is fine so I'm not really looking to upgrade it, although what I choose to do with regards to spotify may influence it as I may need more memory if i drop spotify (which I'd like to do as I don't really like it, but that's another discussion).

    I've gone back through my past 6months of bills
    - 5 of the past 7months, calls were under 180mins. One outlier month of 400mins where I was shopping around for car insurance and on hold for forever.
    - Data under 5g each month
    - texts under 100 each month
    - 3 out of the 6months I used my phone in either EU or Australia/NZ
    - 2 months had short international calls (under 10mins in those months)

    Vodafone PAYG Extra which includes unlimited calls/texts, 100 international minutes 8gb data and roaming for €30 p/month seems ok? Or the Tesco €25 p/month unlimited calls/texts & 20gb data which includes 5gb for roaming. I used to be with Tesco before switching to vodafone 2yrs ago, but I don't know what the network is like now.

    Any recommendations for a new plan that i have missed?

    I went with iD mobile:

    If you have access to a groupscheme, you can get unlimited calls/texts, 30GB data (+ 6.5GB roaming) on 4G for €20 a month and it's a 30-day rolling contract.

    It's on the 3 network, so reception may not be as good as Vodafone, but I haven't had any problems.
