Or we'll choose our holiday hotels wisely so they have free wifi. If you want to watch Love Island 'live' on a beach in Corfu, you deserve a £300 bill. Download it the next morning while you're 'enjoying' a fairly unpleasant breakfast of feta and olives and you won't pay anything over the odds.
You lot are about as technically aware as my octogenarian parents. It's embarrassing...

Until the hotels cotton on and limit bandwidth which I know happens in some. Alternatively you could go to a foreign country nearer which shows British TV, such as Wales...

It won’t happen overnight but slowly and surely most providers will treat EU countries as ‘other’ countries and charge per day or per MB.

However, we being brits, we will just tolerate all this through gritted teeth and mutter that at least we are independent of EU so we are better off.

What's the problem? It will be just like the war again.

I read the new regulations with regard to UK citizens on the German government website. There they explained that you will be questioned by a border guard every time you enter the Germany. That is going to lead to long queues.

My guess is that they’ll charge a ‘holiday fee’ of £10-20 for a week, to avoid the £200+ bills that you’d otherwise get.

It would be a no brainer to pay it...

My Three data plan covers the USA and Australia so why wouldn't it continue to cover Europe?

Thing is you pay ( most likely) more than for a standard data plan that doesn't cover these regions. Currently all EU countries are included for free in everyone's dataplan

I had a Three phone once*, and it struggled with some parts of London...

*Not my choice, it was client issued

No "current" plans ... do you realise that doesn't mean no plans at all don't you? And that these companies are there for profit so they will all start charging in the future? Or are you so blinkered by the lies that you can no longer make your own thinking?

Again, all this was known prior to 2016 so no surprises to those of us who are intelligent enough to understand what is going on. The sheeple who voted out though .... they're in for some big surprises

I doubt many will be affected, except possibly those on PAYG roaming. Business data packages are worldwide, and no network will want to be the first to exclude European countries from their inclusive coverage. They would lose all their high revenue customers to rivals, who then would have no need to follow suit.

+ It is not a unilateral decision. Roaming partners have a say as well as the home operator. Let's subsidise VF they are all saying.

We hold all the cards.

Just waiting for the first bills to come out after Jan 1st and the deplorables will start complaining their mobile bills have gotten out of control

I note with interest your omission of...

The mobile operators (Three, EE, O2 and Vodafone) have have stated that they have no current plans to change their mobile roaming policies.

A lot of this, and the musicians thread, was talked about pre 2016 vote but was constantly called 'project fear' and this will never be the case because we will get a great deal. Let's hope those that voted out can no longer afford to travel to Benidorm for their hols and are forced to go to Blackpool instead

We won get over it
