Data roaming abroad

elliepharding — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:44:03 GMT

Hello!

I am abroad in Europe for several months. The £2.47 daily charges extra to roam are way too expensive on top of my current bill. Can I have some advice on a cheaper option?

Hey there @elliepharding 😊

Welcome to the EE Community!

We can absolutely look over roaming options with you, but in general our add-ons are designed more for short term visits than longer stays of months at a time, so you may want to look at the option of a local SIM too.

When is it you head away, and have you had a chance to check our roaming tool yet?

Ultimately EE is a UK operator and their roaming services are intended for UK residents taking short trips abroad. They're not intended for those who are long-term resident abroad.

This is broadly enforced by the Stable Links policy which requires UK usage for 2 months in every 4.
