Mp's are saying that these charges will likely make a return, whilst you provided evidence to the contrary.

Actually, what they said was
Quote:
The government has said that UK mobile operators were not believed to have any current plans to change their approach to roaming after Brexit.
But the committee warned that this "may not be sustainable" as EU providers will be free to increase the wholesale charges they apply to British-based networks.
"There may be an incentive for them to do so, as more UK consumers holiday in the EU27 than vice-versa, and UK consumers are more inclined to use large amounts of roaming data when abroad than their European counterparts," said the report.
"If this comes to pass, higher operating costs will either have to be absorbed by mobile operators or passed on to consumers in one form or another - for example, higher wholesale roaming charges could be passed on to consumers through higher overall prices, rather than through the reintroduction of roaming charges."

So, prices may increase, but roaming charges will probably not return, according to MPs...
