EE customers with pay-as-you-go sim cards will have to pay roaming charges from this week while on holiday in Europe. Customers travelling in 47 destinations will now have to pay to use mobile data, make calls and send texts.
Anyone with an EE pay-as-you-go subscription, or those who top up their phone with credit manually will be affected. The new roaming charges kicked in on June 6 and customers will now be charged standard EE rates by default, which includes 70p a minute for calls, 30p for texts and £3 for 550MB of data, the Mirror reports.
Previously mobile firms were banned from charging extra fees to holidaymakers using their UK allowance while in the EU. Now that the Brexit transition is over this no longer applied, so many of the major network providers have already reintroduced these roaming costs.
