Goodybags are mostly available and at their best when used in the UK or Europe. However, for roaming in the EU things have changed, and its capped @ 5GB. It then goes to 10 pence per megabyte used after the 5GB has been used up.
All you need to do is join GiffGaff. It's free. If you want £10 for joining instead of £5, sign up here.

GiffGaff recently announced a cut to their European free roaming data allowance for UK customers, from 20GB to 5GB. So this new offer of more free credit for a limited time should, hopefully, counteract that loss a bit. At least for new customers.
5GB is still better than nothing, and if users monitor their data more carefully, going on GiffGaff's claim that in 2019 90% of their users gobbled up less than 5GB when roaming in the EU on a monthly basis, the majority of people should still remain below the free limit. Any usage over the free 5GB will be charged at 10 Pence for each extra MegaByte used.
Other providers have done the same. Tesco are also going to be charging users for EU roaming, which comes into force in January 2023. And Sky Mobile's EU roaming charges for UK customers are already in force since May 2022.
These days it can be overwhelming with how much choice we have at every turn and choosing a mobile network is no exception. In a perfect world we would all like the most (texts/minutes/data) for the least amount of money. Sadly this is not always the case. Maybe you've tried many of the most popular networks available in your country but have had negative experiences with drops in signal, or expensive bills without much in return. Perhaps one of the best networks is not yet massively popular in your country against the already well established networks of the past.

GiffGaff has been running since 2009. Started in the UK they are owned by both Virgin Media and O2 in a 50/50 split & run on the same network as the goliath O2. They are known as the network by the people for the people with a huge focus towards community outreach & are often open to try new things as suggested by the customer base.
What is the best dumb phone [normal mobile phone] if what you're after is an excellent torch light. But first, hold on. A "Dumb" phone, as in a non-smartphone, is actually the best phones you can own. A lot of people are starting to realize this and are making the transition back over to a standard phone. Thankfully, I don't have to make that transition as I have never owned a Smartphone, and never will.
Excellent Torch: The Samsung B2100 [on GiffGaff / O2]
Okay, with that out the way, what is a non-smartphone that has a really good torch light. I don't know which one is the best, because I haven't used every standard phones torch, but in my own experience the Samsung B2100 has the best torch light out of all the mobile phones I have used. It's the phone I currently use.
And if the phone broke I would no doubt buy another one in used but good condition. Good all round phone, very tough, and waterproof! Perfect for someone like me. Sadly, the B2100 can't be bought brand new anymore [unless you can find one on eBay], it's no longer in production.
The most impressive feature about the torch for me is that its not like the light on most smartphones, where they have an even spread of light. No, the light on the Samsung B2100 has a good spread, but also has a stronger point at the end that can be angled to get that little bit of extra targetted light that's sometimes needed to shine on something far away, or something close for more clarity etc.
