If you're heading abroad this summer and plan on using your mobile phone to surf the internet while sunbathing, share snaps on social media or stay in touch with family and friends - you might want to consider switching mobile phone network or face heavy roaming charges.
That's because some of the most popular phone networks across the UK have recently reinstated EU roaming charges - adding extra costs onto the holidays of hardworking Britons looking for some cheap and cheerful fun in the sun. Most of the extra charges apply to those on 4G and 5G networks, with consumers forced to fork out on more data than they typically need.
However, most networks charge a premium for the extra data add-ons, and they don't come in cheap. New research from GiffGaff shows that their customers use an average of 2.3BG in roaming data while on holiday.
