Mobile networks that still let you roam for free in Europe... and those that could catch you out
Daily Mail There's another hidden holiday cost to think about as Britons go abroad this summer.
Before Brexit, mobile phone providers did not charge British customers extra fees to use roaming in Europe. However, these rules no longer apply.
This is Money did some digging into the EU roaming charges of major mobile networks to see how much you will have to pay this summer to use your phone abroad.
O2
Looking at the T&Cs of O2's Europe Zone data roaming, there is a cap on free roaming at 25GB per month, so customers can roam like they would at home up to this amount of data.
If you go through the 25GB of data, you'll have to pay 3.50 per GB.
As a rough guide, 1GB is enough for five hours of mobile web browsing, or to send or receive about 1000 emails.

EE
Roaming in the EU is no longer included in the plan allowance with EE.
