Anyone on here still pay roaming charges?

[Mrs Doubtfyre]

As you said, without numbers that’s not impossible.

.01% is 1 in 10,000.
Not likely.

 

[Mottie]

It's just a fact that the roaming situation is worse post Brexit.

Absolutely no different for me.

 

[Mrs Doubtfyre]

Funnily enough, the only people who claim to have been hit with roaming charges all, coincidentally, voted to remain in the EU.

Funnily enough, the only person claiming that there are no roaming charges, voted Brexit.
(And doesn't care anyway.)

Absolutely no different for me.

Of course it is. You now have to find/choose a roaming free sim. You didn't have to do that before.

Yes, it may be insignificant, but true nonetheless.

I’m not claiming it, the networks are. Look at the link. Better still show me where there are charges and I’ll tell you how to avoid them if your'e not extremely stupid and thick.

How many Brits travel abroad each year? In 2023, Brits made 86.2 million trips overseas,

Assuming many were children, I reckon there's as many trips abroad by UK residents as the number of people in UK.

That really is splitting hairs!

The offers are all time and data limited.
EU citizens enjoy free permanent roaming in EU. No time limits, no data limits.

Roaming charges must be a good little earner for UK networks, otherwise why apply them.
And where there's additional charges on EU networks for UK users, the same applies. It must be a good little earner.

Are they worse after Brexit?

You still don't get it do you...

No surprise there

So why won't you show us a single benefit of brexit?

Instead of regurgitating the same old tiny (and inaccurate) claim that 'well it didn't get worse' is a 'benefit'

 

[ellal]

That really is splitting hairs!

However you have just admitted that it is a worse situation...

Your vast supply of straws must be getting very low

So it can be done.

Whereas before it was just automatic.

See the difference? Slight, but worse.

We must agree it's not better, surely? Or are you going to demonstrate that it is?

You don’t get the point of this thread either. Like I said, it is a continuation of this thread that was locked due to petty remainer sniping. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/...-of-the-past-roaming-charges-are-back.573414/

 

[denso13]

It's much more than that.

While we were in the EU there was guaranteed surcharge-free roaming and a daily limit on roaming costs. Now that we have left there isn't.

You could say you wanted out and that is a small price you were willing to pay. But it is disingenuous to argue things are the same as before. They just aren't.

We’re all the pre Brexit plans from all providers the same price? I’ll save you the bother. No, they weren’t so you still had to shop around then. No different now.

 

[ellal]

mottie is rattled yet again...

Why won't he come up with a single benefit of brexit instead of insisting on wearing his emperors new clothes?
