Sky Mobile customers now have to pay up to £2 a day to access their data, calls and texts when abroad. It means millions of Sky Mobile users will now have to pay to use their phone while on holiday.
Since the UK left the EU following the Brexit vote, mobile network providers across the board have begun to reintroduce roaming fees where previously customers could use their monthly texts, minutes and data allowance included in their contract while abroad in 28 European countries at no extra cost.
Sky Mobile is the latest provider to introduce fees, joining Vodafone, EE, Three and Lebara. Sky's new roaming package, known as Roaming Passport Plus, simplifies a raft of existing charges and, while it means places that were previously free are now chargeable, some countries which previously cost £6 a day to use a Sky Mobile phone in are now reduced to the flat £2 charge per 24 hours.
