Tesco Mobile has scrapped EU roaming fees for the summer, meaning that both PAYG and contract customers will be able to use their existing mobile tariffs to call, text and chomp through data abroad at no extra cost. Hurrah!
The scheme, called ‘Home From Home’, is similar to Three’s excellent ‘Feel at Home’ -- in more ways than one, clearly -- but covers a staggering 31 separate countries. Unfortunately, Tesco Mobile's offering is only available between May 23rd and September 3rd, and caters exclusively to European travellers. Tough luck if you’re heading further afield this summer. Still, for everyone else it's a fantastic deal.

When you write a post, your username is displayed right above what you write. There's really no need to type it out.
There's a couple of people who do that on this site. It's so odd.

Yes but if are on HKUD, you would never be stupid enough to stay with someone if they were more expensive than the competitors. Seems very hot to me!

So on 4th September it's back to rip-off prices, after having acquired a load of new customers who by then can't be bothered to move. Smart move Tesco.

No self-respecting HUKD'r would fail to move. Would they? See it for what it is, a good deal if you are going on hols to one of the countries this year. Heat added.

oh you are so cynical !!!
could also be Tesco Mobiel are testing the waters and also trying to get deals in place in case the UK votes to leave the EU - then all EU wide regulations will not apply after the final exit occirs!
So they may be doing some real worls nalaysis how much it will cost and is it economic to do so - and by limiting the deal they limit their exposure if loads of HUKDer only take the sim cards to use only in EU :stuck_out_tongue:

New EU regulation come into force 1st May so you will find most carriers will reduce their prices massivly.
Got a txt from ee today , We’ll be introducing new Standard rates for calls and texts in our Europe Zone from 30th April and even better data options too. It’ll be 4.4p per minute to make calls and 1.8p per text and it’ll be £3 for 75MB of data (all inc. VAT).

depending if Britain stays in the EU December 2017 EU roaming charges will be abolished

What these new prices means is it'll be cheaper to be out of bundle while roaming abroad in the EU than it will be while out of bundle in your home location.

I wonder if they will do any data deals for EEextra customers who already have free calls and texts but no data abroad.
