As you have given no details of your Son's circumstances & particularly the plan he is on, this is necessarily a lengthy reply.

He'll receive a Welcome text upon arrival at a country giving his roaming options.

You may use your usual UK allowances in the EU with up to 50 GB (contract) or 25 GB (PAYG) data per billing month if you have more. If on contract & your contract started after 07/07/2021 there'll be a £2.72 / day charge for using your UK allowances in EU unless you buy the 7-day EU Pass for £16.50 or the 12-day EU Pass for £27.50 or you already have them as an Inclusive Extra or you have an EE Essential Plus, All Rounder or Full Works Plan.

On PAYG there will be roaming charges to use your pack allowances in the EU, to be taken only from your PAYG credit, not your recurring card payment. You will receive a msg upon arrival offering & inviting you to take up the options for roaming in EU of either £2.50 / day, by replying ROAMEU1D to 150, or £10 / week, by replying ROAMEU7D to 150. If you opt to reply neither or you don't have an active pack, you will be paying standard rates for calls & texts & will need to buy a PAYG add-on for data.

If he is on contract ,he should just remember to text ROAMING to 150 before leaving UK to ensure the roaming ability is enabled on his no.

If he is on PAYG, just make sure he had already used his PAYG SIM to make a call or text in the UK.

...assuming that the roaming facility is enabled.....

...if this is not done, it prevents access to coverage abroad and thus texts....
