UK IP when roaming with Prepaid Plan?

svee11e — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 17:16:33 GMT

Hey, I will travel to europe soon and I need a mobile data provider that will keep a UK IP adress while using roaming abroad. Basically so I can access services like I would be in the UK.

Was planning on getting the 125GB prepaid plan from EE and buy the ,,Roam like Home,, weekly plan 4x a month.

Anyone here with prepaid plan that can confirm you will get a UK IP adress while roaming abroad?

Thanks!

It's still UK EE that allocates IPs. The local operator just provides the connection to the mobile network.

When you are roaming, you are using the local coverage of the foreign network but your data traffic is routed through EE's UK core network and thus a UK IP address is allocated

@bristolian Thank you!

Do you know if this applies to prepaid plans as well, or only to contract plans?

It applies to all EE SIMs, regardless of payment method.
