EE have announced they will be reintroducing roaming charges for mobile usage in European countries from January 2022.
The reintroduction of the fees, will affect all new customers and those upgrading their mobile contracts from July 7th.
Customers will be charged a £2 daily fee from January 2022 to use their data, minutes and text allowance when roaming in 47 European destinations.
“From January next year, EE will introduce a new flat fee of £2 a day for customers wishing to roam across 47 European destinations (with the exception of ROI which is included in domestic plans), allowing them to use their plan’s full data, minutes and texts allowance,” an EE spokesperson said.
“This will apply only to new and upgrading customers signing up to EE from the 7th July 2021 and will support investment into our UK-based customer service and leading UK network.
“Customers travelling abroad for longer will be able to use a 30-day Roam Abroad Pass.
“Essential plan customers will be able to take the Pass for £10, while Smart or Full Works plans customers are able to include the same pass as part of their plan.”
The Republic of Ireland will be exempt.
Vodafone said it had “no current plans to change our approach to roaming in the EU”.
Now Lets Travel Swindon owner said that ‘many customers will be disappointed at this move’ adding that they will be ‘advising customers to double check their phone contracts before going abroad.’
