11:01, 04 Jun 2025 If you're planning your summer holiday, you may want to take note of how much you could potentially be charged to use your phone abroad. Most of the major mobile


networks have reintroduced roaming fees following Brexit. Before this, you could use your existing call, text and data allowances in Europe at no extra cost. New rules that were introduced


last October mean that mobile providers must now notify customers when they start roaming while abroad. They will also have to notify customers of any "fair use" limits that apply


to their phone package. "Fair use" caps the amount of your UK data allowance you can use while roaming in Europe. We've rounded up how much it will cost you to roam in Europe

should do, is use a comparison website to see what other deals are available elsewhere. Take a look at how many minutes, texts and how much data you currently use, so you can find similar


plans that suit your needs. You may find you're actually paying too much right now for allowances you're not using. If you've found a cheaper deal, you can switch to this if


you're out of contract. Alternatively, you may want to haggle down your current provider. Article continues below When haggling, explain the better deals you've seen elsewhere then


ask if the company can match or beat that price. The best time to do this is normally when you're near the end of your existing contract, or when a price rise has been announced.
