Is this really the correct forum for this.0

Probably not and just an attempt to wind people up. 3 have already declared and the others are fairly unlikely at this stage to start charging next year. not impossible of course but this article simply wants to stir things up as much as possible based on not much.0

No, the article is designed to give people the facts. Why do Brexiteers get so defensive whenever anyone mentions any potential adverse impacts of Brexit?Probably not and just an attempt to wind people up. 3 have already declared and the others are fairly unlikely at this stage to start charging next year. not impossible of course but this article simply wants to stir things up as much as possible based on not much.
The passport section is very relevant if you've got a spring or summer holiday to the EU planned - your current passport could expire 10 years and 9 months after issue if you renewed with 9 months left on your previous one. Which means that it might not be valid for travel to the EU 1 year and 3 months before the expiry date!0 -
Scaremongering!!!!!
Because I am a regular member of the public who knows more than the people looking after the mobile industry!!0 -

You say 'wind people up', but that's because the people you refer to choose to be wound up by facts and potential risk and detrimental effects of Brexit.

This is Government scare mongering to try to con people into believing Mrs May's bad deal is better than no deal at all.
It is EU law that mobile phone companies cannot charge for roaming within the EU. We are incorporating all EU law into domestic law. So nothing should change.
There was a similar scare story saying credit card surcharges could return. No they couldn't. Parliament has passed a law making them illegal.
You may need an International Driving Permit to drive in the EU. Well you might, but you don't need one to drive in the US, Canada, Australia etc etc. And Americans don't need an IDP to drive in France or Germany, so why should we? But if the EU decide to be bloody awkward, we just impose the same requirement on their citizens. You can get an IDP from main Post Offices for £5.50 and it lasts for a year.0 -

Why do you write "should" not "will" then?This is Government scare mongering to try to con people into believing Mrs May's bad deal is better than no deal at all.

Not mentioned here. So an irrelavant strawman.There was a similar scare story saying credit card surcharges could return. No they couldn't. Parliament has passed a law making them illegal.
Err, yes, as the article states:You may need an International Driving Permit to drive in the EU. Well you might, but you don't need one to drive in the US, Canada, Australia etc etc.
But it seems some people don't want us to try to do a deal on this and other issues.The Government says it will try to negotiate a separate deal with the EU or individual EU countries to ensure an IDP isn't required0
