Don’t they offset their losses on a thirty day SIM by charging you more per month?
Who are you with?
There some low cost MVNOs that offer rolling plans. No frills but cheaper than major networks.
Giffgaff have recurring “goodybag” system that can be quite cheap. They keep costs low through things like having minimal customer support.
I haven’t found any 30 day contracts that can beat a well negotiated renewal. You just need to be firm in requesting the PAC code and make them work to keep you as a customer.
I got EU roaming included in my £9/month contract but I do need to get temporary travel packs for other countries.
How much data for £9?
As for roaming, get a local esim. I used AirHub when I travelled to the US and got 5Gb for $4.
Plenty for Google Maps and WhatsApp.
TalkMobile.
Vodafone’s other in-house MVNO with no-frills. 30Gb, £7, rolling 30 day contract.
60Gb is £10 per month, 30 day rolling contract.
No doubt these are decent deals but if you look at their website and compare like for like:
- 30GB 12 month contract £7.95 / month
- 30GB 1 month contract £8.95 / month

Edit: Err, actually they have two options with the same terms at different prices for the 30GB 1 month contract. The second is as you’ve noted, £7. WTF?
