Eu roaming charges seem to be very much on the way back for UK customers. As many of us in the UK will now be returning, or thinking of returning, to international travel as covid restrictions ease, is it time for government action on this to compel these companies to remove these unjustified charges?

We all new that this was likely to happen when our oven ready Brexit was delivered. It's probably a form of tax evasion, or avoidance, by the networks as many are not UK owned. The overseas owners can transfer funds from the UK and not pay UK tax on the income. It's akin to an offshore company charging its UK business millions for the use of the logo.
What can or will the government do? Nothing as most of the mobile companies are foreign owned and they can syphon as much costs as they like from the UK company so it has no profits to tax. Take away their licences, contractual nightmare. Ban them from bidding when the spectrum license comes up for renewal. I am not sure if the mobile companies spectrum licenses are perpetual.
Buy a SIM in the country you are going to and leave a message on you UK SIM giving out the new local number. We used to do that before free roaming.

This is a very serious issue, 3 must be able to offer better roaming packages.

I've been with Three for 10+ years now. I've had to recently change my tariff, because they were getting rid of older ones (which I was on), which means I lose all of my benefits, like the not having to pay for Roaming! (You don't have to pay if your contract started before a certain date.) I'm a bit annoyed by this and actually thought twice about not taking out a new contract with Three. In this climate, Three really should be thinking about ways to keep customers instead of turning them away.

I completely agree with you. This happened to me as well. Recently, I was forced to change my contract as It was old. I was the fair user of roaming data and minutes. Now I have to pay £2 to use data every 24 hour. Even after paying £2 every day the limit is just 12GB for a month.

This is something 3 must urgently fix. It is simply unacceptable.

Roaming charges are back after years of free Feel at Home roaming, 3 Mobile must be able to offer a better package for roaming customers? I would suggest a fixed amount per month to cover all roaming charges in Feel at Home countries, maybe £10 per month? This is urgent.

I agree that something should be put into place here (ideally have it free again!) - I wonder if the £10 a month can be taken on/off or added when needed because some people might not travel all the time?
