    I was wondering when someone would attempt that.

    The free roaming has worked well since Brexit only because nobody dared introduce it again.

        I don’t know about your country, but in mine, most if not all mobile data providers include free EU roaming if not in all plans then at least in some.

          Well, it’s not about any country but the UK which left the EU. Free EU roaming is an EU legislation, so obviously the UK is no longer covered by it.

            There’s actually a lot of EU laws that still apply to the UK, so if the UK government had wanted to be kind to its citizens, they definitely COULD have retained free roaming too.

    Jumped to Lebara once Three started charging for EU roaming. Uswitch have a nice plan with 21GB/month for about £8–9/month. Includes EU roaming. No lock-in or contract. I think it also includes some free minutes to dial EU numbers. Pretty much better in every way.

      Basically the same story here, but I moved from Vodafone to Smarty. £15/mo for unlimited data and includes free EU roaming (10GB limit, IIRC). It’s weird that Smarty, a budget subsidiary of Three, offers free roaming but Three doesn’t.

    Try living in Canada. Pretty much all the providers charge $15/day for roaming! No monthly plans available.
