Morning all, I am contemplating a Sim only deal with EE, it is Unlimited Data plus EU Roaming bolted on. My question is twofold:
1. If I have unlimited data in the UK, do I also have the same while touring around Europe and, if so, do you still receive the advertised 100mbs while abroad?
2. I usually go away twice a year for about 10 weeks at a time - has anyone had any problems for long periods abroad?
Many thanks in anticipation

Just to confirm the above by @XRaySpeX,
This comment was on a thread before we knew what the changes would fully look like in practice.
Turkey is not an EU Country and Turkey was never included on any EE plan before Roaming Refresh in Dec '24, hence why I was saying a revision of countries to include more destinations like Turkey would be a great addition. And I do stand by that, I think the Roaming Refresh has been great and added so much more value to plans which include Roaming beyond just the EU.
Instead of just getting the chance to have Inclusive Roaming in 5 countries outside the EU (USA, Canada, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand), an additional 28 have been added under Zone 1. ee.co.uk/roamingrefresh
The difference is for those on a plan that originated before 29th August 2024 who previously used the Roam Abroad Pass Inclusive Extra (included EU plus the 5 destinations above), there are now two passes instead of one: an EU Roaming Pass and ROW Roaming Pass.
Turkey falls under ROW Zone 1 and was not on the original Roam Abroad Pass, so you never would have had access to it before this change.
