Roaming and data charges in the EU
I think the 12gb limit for EU roaming is unfair, if you’ve paid for 40gb (as I have) you should be able to use it freely
You are incorrect about Three and O2.
How much of your allowance you can use in the EU for free:
- Smarty: 12GB
- Tesco: full allowance
- O2: 25GB
- Three (Pay As You Go): depends which data pack you have. 6GB on their £10 pack, 12GB on their £15 pack, etc.
- Giffgaff: 5GB
- Voxi: 0GB
- Lebara: 30GB
- ID Mobile: was 30GB, currently trialling full allowance.
As you can see, this varies a lot, and there are both better and worse options than Smarty when it comes to EU roaming allowance. But the beauty of providers like Smarty is that you're not tied in, so are free to switch away to one of the other providers at any time.
I stand corrected regards O2, been given **bleep** info. My Three account was unlimited, had not switched contract when it had run out and was paying to much.
Got a few plans in the future, but have the option to run 2 sims, getting a second in eu.
