Therefore, KPN, T-Mobile and Vodafone keep their promise earlier this year that nothing will change for the time being, despite Brexit.

When people use their mobile phone abroad, they use the network of a foreign provider. The company charges costs for this to the Dutch supplier, which means that customers also paid more for this. Within the EU, these costs were phased out following legislation and, since the summer of 2017, providers can no longer charge costs for this.

British supplier charges costs again

With Brexit, however, that arrangement no longer applies to the UK. However, earlier this year, both British and European providers indicated that they have no plans to charge roaming fees again. That situation lasted only six months, because then supplier EE indicated that it wanted to charge costs again. Britons abroad pay £ 2 a day to that telecommunications company to use their phone in the EU.

Data limit

EE is officially the only one to actually charge roaming fees again. However, another provider, O2, adjusted the maximum data limit that EU customers can use. Critics see this as the first step towards roaming charges.
