I've often roamed on White Plan and found it to often double my usual
bill.
The only thing I could recommend is to check which carrier you roam on.
When you got your phone it came with a booklet which lists up the per
minute rates for each network.
There are often several to choose from and offer quite different rates.
Of the top of my head, Vodafone, in it's various regional
incarnations, seems to be the best value.
Actually they list the rates online too - UK:
