Millions of EE mobile phone customers to be hit by new charges this week

EE this week introduced new roaming charges for pay-as-you-go customers who use their mobiles abroad in Europe, meaning punters will now have to pay extra to use mobile data, make calls and send texts across 47 destinations.

The change affects all EE PAYG customers, as well as those who top up their phone manually with credit. The brand-new charges landed yesterday (June 6) and standard EE rates will be charged as a default.

These include 70p per minute phone calls, 30p texts and £3 for 550MB of data. Mobile phone firms were previously banned from adding extra charges to UK allowance while holidaying in the EU.
