Roaming message on Devon coast

Just walked a section of the SW Coast path west of Brixham and received texts from EE saying “Welcome from EE” and charges that will apply while I’m here. Unless Devon is now in the EU and nobody told me then EE is wrongly trying to charge me for EU roaming etc whilst in England.

I can’t be the first person to suffer this - so why is this happening? France is the other side of the channel.

That message also suggests you're on PAYG not pay-monthly, so disabling roaming isn't an option.

If you feel another network is a better choice, just do thorough research into their coverage & service in all the locations you'll want to use your phone. And consider getting a PAYG SIM before porting your number - make sure you're happy with their service first.
