  2. As I know many EU mobile operators have no-rouming zones in Ukraine too.

  3. As somebody who lives within 20 minutes of both Germany and Belgium, I appreciate this all year long.

  4. Meanwhile I need to pay €2,50 *per MB* going to the USA this September. Thank you T-Mobile but I’ll go the temporary SIM card route.

  5. It took longer than it should for this to be introduced but boy am I glad that it is in place

  7. In my country at least it’s limited by a fair use policy. I have around 60gb at home on my plan, but can only use 15gb abroad before I’m charged.

  8. A great thing realized by the European Union next to the best consumer rights in the world, safety, stability, … I love the Union.

  9. Few bad points:

    Free roaming in EU only guarantees SMS and calls, not Internet

    If you spend 4 months abroad, you are no longer eligible

    In practise your brand new SIM card often does not work abroad.

  12. This is like one of the few good things with the eu. This and easy to move/travel. And I’m not sure if the EU is behind it but the laws that makes it easy to get compensation if s flight is delayed/cancelled

  13. Just be careful if you travel by ferry in international waters (Sweden – Germany). I paid attention to the signs, but my buddy forgot to turn off roaming. A nice 150 eur surprise bill.

  14. As of this June this also still held true in the UK as well, but I’m not sure if it will continue. Maybe not all carriers offer it but I had no extra charges while there.

  15. Forgetting that Bosnia isn’t part of this free roaming thing was an expensive lesson…

  16. Happy for Ukrainians honestly but its outrageous EU wont do this for other candidate states (Balkan)

  17. That’s not true, I have to pay 5 euros to use mobile data nationally, but if I go abroad I have to pay over 10 euros to have roaming mobile data. So “and data use are charged at domestic rates” isn’t true.

  18. As a person who makes use of this once a year max- makes me hard as a rock for the EU. No wonder we have the around the highest EU approval rating

  19. welcome to europe. where things make a little bit more sence
