Data roaming

GD273 · ‎13-09-2022

Can anyone tell me if data roaming is free of charge whilst in Republic of Ireland?

Yes, up to your allowance or 50GB data pm if you have more.

I’m not sure that’s the case.

ROI is included in the EU Zone and so it depends on when you last upgraded/got your contract. Or if you have the roam abroad pass etc.

If you upgraded or got a new contract after July 2021, and don’t have the smart benefit or pass, then it costs £2,00 a day to use your phone in ROI.

@Josephrudd2020 : Not according to Changes for EE customers roaming in the EU . RoI is an exception:

I am travelling to Republic of Ireland or live near the border. Will I have to pay £2 a day if I connect to the ROI network?

Customers using their phone in Republic of Ireland are unaffected and won't have to pay the £2 charge.

@XRaySpeX EE really need to sort that out on THIS as it’s still saying you need the pass or pay the £2 per day. But you are correct there is no charge in RO Ireland.

@Chris_B : I understand the RoI Roaming Costs page only recently changed from no extra cost to £2 a day - see UK to Ireland calls and texts (included in allowance or not?)
