Compliments of Brexit.

Thanks brexit. Fucking clownshow

EE now charges its contract customers £2.29 a day to use their phones as at home while in mainland Europe, or they can buy a monthly roaming pass.

EE told Guardian Money the price rise reflected the “increased cost of providing roaming services along with making investments into its network and UK customer services”.

It said: “The Roam Abroad Pass also offers significant cost-saving benefits for customers travelling to Australia, US, Canada, Mexico or New Zealand, with roaming to these destinations included in the pass.”

I don’t have any problem with them cutting some deal with mobile providers in those places, but I have to say that I’m skeptical that there are going to be a great many people on a British cell plan who have much need to roam within a single month to both mainland Europe and to at least one of Australia, the US, Canada, Mexico, or New Zealand. Maybe some business travelers.

I recently switched to Lebara, which uses the Vodafone network and has some sweet deals via Money Saving Expert.

EU roaming is bundled, which is the main reason I switched from Three.
