EU roaming charges and how much phone providers can charge

Roaming charges have been introduced for those travelling in Europe. They were originally scraped across the European Union back in June 2017.

This meant travellers and network customers could go to the EU and use their phone like normal without extra charge. However, since the UK's departure, they're being re-introduced.

Many major networks will bring in costs again and it's important to know if you could be affected so you're saved from any unexpected hefty bills. Luckily some providers have confirmed no extra charges will be incurred by their customers.

O2

O2 said they have no plans to re-introduce roaming charges in Europe.

O2 customers have a monthly data limit of 25GB when roaming and will be charged £3.50 for each GB after that.

Tesco Mobile has confirmed it will not re-introduce extra data roaming charges.

A Tesco spokesperson said: "There are no Brexit changes to our Home From Home service.

"You can still use your data, minutes and texts in Europe as you would at home.
