I think I can. Three UK have a PAYG plan (i.e. no yearly fee) where 
SMSs, calls and data are charged at 3p, 2p, 1p/MB respectively. Seeing 
as Bev hardly uses her phone (<30 min/pa) you'd get decent amount of 
usage for the equivalent cost. Calls and SMSs received are free, of course.

I get by on ~£5 pm and that's almost all data via 4G. If I could break 
my twitter habit, I'd probably get by on £20 pa

Agreed. The US is not unique.
