Rip Off EE - Daily Roaming Charges abroad charged when not used

[Donnyrovers]

Has anyone else been charged for a full week of daily roaming charges when in France when they deliberately turned off data roaming and only used 4G every other day and free WiFi in restaraunts /shops on the alternative days. I think EE hope you don't notice this overcharge ( or theft as its commonly called by the courts ! )

Daily roaming charges are incurred when you conduct any chargeable activity abroad. This can mean making or receiving any voice calls, sending any text messages or using mobile data.

You've mentioned disabling data roaming, but this just means using mobile data whilst roaming. Roaming charges can still be incurred if you made or received any calls (which some people might call "voice roaming") or by sending text messages ("text roaming" by the same argument).

You would need to have a mobile network connection in order to do either of these, which could be on any of 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G.
