Mobile in Spain

There seems to be a £2 per day EU roaming charge on EE. If that bothers you, O2, do not have roaming charges and could be an option, if you can find a similar deal.

If you need to stay with the EE network then you could consider switching to Plusnet.
As well as offering cheaper deals than EE they include EU roaming and both monthly and annual contracts. Only downside for me is the lack of WiFi calling.
I switched from Three to O2 earlier this year. I've just returned from Spain and the free roaming worked extremely well (usually via the Movistar network).
Other options are ID mobile (Three network) which can have very good deals via the Uswitch website and also the MSE site as well.0 -
Or 1pmobile, they use EE and have free EU roaming. It's PAYG, almost certainly cheaper than a contract if you make sensible use of boosts.

I’ve just checked mine through the EE app and it says
Good news!
You can use all your allowances as you would at home, at no extra cost.
To see your allowances, and how much you have left, text BALANCE to 150.
So I’m assuming I won’t be charged anything?? I’ve been on the same contract since 2018, never upgraded.

Their best option is to just let their existing contract roll on (as yours is doing) but if they want a new phone or allowances that involve setting up a new contract then they lose out on the free roaming.

It'd be daft to let one of those contracts roll on, why carry on paying for a phone you've already paid for? Hardly likely that free EU roaming would make it worthwhile, especially when you can switch to one of the providers offering free roaming.

I've recently switched from Virgin to EE, going on holiday to the Canaries I signed up for a £10 a month roaming package. It worked faultlessly, sometimes we lost the hotel's WiFi and it simply came off our normal allowance.

It uses the EE network so coverage would be the same.
