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.
If you have the energy to jump through the hoops to get a deal, then great. I can’t face it. When I feel my current deal isn’t right, I just text the number, get the PAC, and disappear, and I love the freedom. I pay £6/month for 5GB and it’s more than enough for me.
For that £9 I get 15Gb of data (including EU roaming). One of my kids gets their phone with unlimited calls/texts + 5Gb of data for £5. I doubt I’m ever going to need more than that as on a recent holiday with heavy use I didn’t even get close to exceeding the usage limits.
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.

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.
