Been with three for 15 years, mainly because of the roaming. Now switched to idmobile which uses three network but doesn't charge EU roaming fees. When/if they do I'll switch again.

Yes you can use a PAC from Three to ID.0

Of course what emmajones1976 fails to realise is that everyone was paying for “free” EU roaming through higher domestic prices and fees? I don’t mind paying a fair price for using my phone abroad (like I would have to outside the EU anyway) - my roaming bill in Turkey a few years ago for calls and texts was about a fiver as I was clever with bundles. There is a world outside the EU you know.I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂0

I look forward to prices in the UK coming down as a result of all of this but if you believe that will happen, you probably believed what was written on that bus

Personally I think you should drop it now. It’s not a politics forum.I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019.
