    The OP needs to point Vodafone to point 4 of Article 4 and ask how Vodafone are complying with the Regulation and if not, why not?

    At the stage of Vodafone not complying, it's probably time for the OP to be asking the Regulator why the network isn't complying with the law.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I had investigated the Vodafone 'EuroTraveller' and Three 'Feel at Home' - neither is ideal.

    Essentially I want a solution that is equivalent to a PAYG SIM in the UK and a PAYG SIM in France - but with just one SIM. Not enough usage to justify a 'bundle'. (An elderly person who splits his time between homes in France and UK, and mainly uses his landlines.)

    Here are the problems with Three 'Feel at Home':
    His calls to French numbers: 18.8p per minute
    French callers calling his mobile pay 'international mobile' rates
    He will probably only make 10 to 20 mins of calls per month - so £10 per month is high.
    He will receive lots of calls - so free to receive calls in France/UK is good.
    Vodafone's £3 per day when used is not economic (likely to be just one call at most in a day).

    (And he has UK and French Addresses, plus UK and French cards.)

    Why not get a dual sim phone and retain both sims?
