Two points:

I can see the 1-year plan being good for frequent visitors. Being able to pay once a year and flexibly use an allowance over many visits has its appeal.

Also, the 4-month deadline seems to not count if usage is sporadic. My sister went on holiday to the UK a couple of times earlier this year and took my Drei SIM, using it on the Talk EU L plan (better than a local 3UK SIM because it also provides access to the Vodafone network where the 3UK network is too congested or coverage is insufficient). Not once was there a warning received about overuse, or a surcharge imposed. The only thing we can think of is that the fact that we did not use it every month (January, April, June) somehow kept Drei from imposing the "permanent roaming" surcharge.
