@LeavingEE2023 Your asking that question on EEs public forum. You know you asking someone to recommend a different network on a specific network forum. Why not go to KFC and ask for Chicken McNuggets.

Free EU roaming for EE customers is being terminated these days - mine ceased yesterday. Consequently, I am now looking to switch supplier and am doing research - I imagine other EE users have done similar research and may know more than me.

Roaming charges are being introduced for PAYG from 06/06/23 as either £2.50 / day or £10 / week to be taken only from your PAYG credit, not your recurring card payment.

So if I have a monthly Subscription Pack, namely a £10 Talk & Text Pack, and I spend a month in the EU, will that cost me £10 only (i.e. for the Text & Talk Pack) or £50 (i.e. £10 for the Talk & Text Pack + 4 x £10 for weekly access to my Pack allowances)?

Thanks, I will. My preliminary research suggests Asda mobile might be the best for me - other networks that purport to offer no charges have a Fair Use Policy that means you have to spend the majority of every 4-month period in the UK, which I may not always be able to do.

As I feared. I can't afford that and need to keep in touch with elderly relatives while I'm in the EU, so I'll be leaving EE.
