Just arrived in Canary Islands and annoyed to find that roaming will incur 2.29 per day. I have a dual SIM phone, and my main use is with a TalkMobile SIM in Slot 1 which gives me free roaming for calls, texts and data. I have an EE SIM in Slot 2 that I had planned to use just for data intensive activities, but will not do so now as I am not prepared to pay such a cost for the 28 days we are here.
I have switched off Roaming on the EE SIM and deactivated that SIM. Having done this, I am fairly confident that I will not incur the charge but would welcome confirmation or otherwise from anyone more knowledgeable than me.
I am initiating purchase of a replacement SIM from another provider that offers much better value than EE anyway, certainly in the EU, and will cancel my current EE contract ASAP.
