Roaming changes for PAYG

[Jacky12]

Is it true that free roaming in the EU with PAYG packs will end in June 23?

Yes, see https://discover.ee.co.uk/roaming/n6a0W5

HMMM... EE PAYG isn't much of a compelling offer any more.  4G only - newbies capped at 25  mbps and ZERO EU roaming allowance.

[Jacky12]

Right. Very expensive at £10 surcharge every 7 days!

so what's the alternative?

[Poprocks_CA]

Vodafone has roaming fees now too. Though slightly lower
£2.25 per day vs £2.50
£10 for 8 days vs 7 days
£15 for 15 days vs £20 for 14 days

I’m thinking 1pMobile. It’s a much more compelling offer:
EE network
5G not 4G
£15 gets you 50gb not 25gb and £20 comes with 200gb not 50gb
14gb of EU roaming on the £15 and £20 plans

[Jacky12]

Sounds good. Seems like EE has priced itself out of the market

As it says you must have credit on your account i'm assuming that if i have a bank card associated with my account it will automatically be charged the £2.50 rather than having to have old fashioned credit on my account?

Hi @Fleagle,

No, your card wouldn't be automatically charged. You'd need credit available for the daily fee when roaming.

I'm now starting to consider 1p mobile from the lates text i go about EU Roaming

I think it was inevitable that they would do that but i left 3 (for EE) because they also re-introduced roaming fees

One by one everybody is bringing back roaming fees. Brexit made it possible so why forgo the revenue, right? 🤓

Lebara still offers 30gb of free EU roaming but for how long I guess ? and ultimately you’d need to be well served by a Vodafone signal at home. I’m happier with EE performance wise.
