Virgin O2 commit to free EU roaming

Re: Virgin O2 commit to free EU roaming

Well for the short to medium term it's good news but can't see them doing this long term.

IIRC O2 is owned by a Spanish company, so this could be long term.

I know some will be asking whether this is just a temporary measure and I want to address this point directly. We have no plans to introduce roaming fees and it’s our intention to keep it that way. We do regularly review the things that our customers value and listen to their feedback, so if market sentiment changes and we need to reassess what we do in the future then we will do so, and of course we will always be open and transparent with our customers regarding any changes. However, we are confident that our customers will love inclusive roaming with O2 and Virgin Mobile
