Roaming charges reintroduced for millions of Brits abroad from today

Roaming charges for mobile phone users abroad have been reintrodced from today by one of the UK's main providers. Many customers on the Three network now face paying £2 a day to use their data, text and calls allowance while out of the country.

Mobile firms were previously banned from charging extra fees to use your UK allowance while holidaying in the EU. The new charges affect pay monthly or SIM-only customers who signed up or renewed their Three contract after October 1 last year, reports the Mirror.

If you joined the network before that date or haven't renewed since then, the charges will only apply when you start a new deal with them. Pay-as-you-go customers are also unaffected. The rules all networks had to stick to around roaming charges now no longer apply because the Brexit transition period is over.
