Re: Roaming charges look set to return after Brexit.

Vodafone and a couple of other networks have already stated they will NOT be reintroducing roaming charges for the EU.

To be honest any UK mobile network would be silly to try and add them again. they would loose too many customers.

also there are many networks that have free roaming in USA, Canada, Australia and a few other countries.

The government would pass legislation to ensure that charges remained capped £45 and the usage alerts will remain. It will, however, not legislate to prevent surcharges and instead pointed to the promises of the kindly telco operators that customers aren't about to get gouged.

The Register spoke to the UK's four biggest operators for their thoughts on the matter.

EE told us that it offers "inclusive roaming in Europe and beyond, and we don't have any plans to change these offers" and O2 said it has "no plans to change our roaming services across Europe".

Vodafone were unable to resist reminding us that it was the first UK operator to abolish EU charges and that it had "no plans to introduce these charges" while Three's position remains that it will continue "allowing our customers to continue using their usual allowances when they travel within the EU".


Having no plans to reintroduce charges is, of course, quite different to promising that charges are not going to make a reappearance.
