Looks like all the EU countries that would have to be included from next year...

Next year will be interesting, from memory the wording in the EU ruling is that it won't cost you any more to roam in the EU than if you were at home... In some cases that could be more expensive, for example O2 PAYG is currently significantly cheaper to use in the EU compared to in the UK... Roaming, you can call other mobiles for 4p a minute (including other EU countries), yet in the UK it costs 30p per min to call UK mobiles!

We use Three's feel at home a lot as we pop over to relatives in Spain every few weeks, so hopefully long may the cheap roaming continue :beer:

System

The whole EEA (plus Switzerland) appears to be covered.
Depends on England's EU relationship if it will be ongoing...

Mass loss of customers if they stop it.


Myself, and I suspect many others, are only on 3 because of Feel at Home. Without that I wouldn't put up with the loss of service and black spots in 3 coverage of the UK.

I just keep a Three PAYG sim for that purpose and rather use a decent network in the UK
