Ultimately when we leave the EU, It would be stupid to think that the free roaming would end. It really serves no purpose at all as if we have pay to call Europe then I would expect no different in return, Which just starts a petty tit for tat argument.

OTOH, what happens after Article 50 negotiations are complete and we leave the EU is another matter entirely...

The supreme court ruling and Theresa May both stated that we would continue to abide by EU rulings until our official exit. The question is more which one of our profiteering networks will be the first to revoke the policy.

Anonymous, 01 Feb 2017The main question raise from this, at least for me, is how ... moremate I think we're gonna be screwed tbh, I don't think there was anybody representing the UK at these meetings so they've probably kicked us out the plans, although the 28 EU countries does beg questioning

Two of the main reasons being the fact that it is still a very Franco/German led and benefiting organisation and their awful ideas on immigration policy,just two of many problems that lots of others have identified as major problems with the E.U and its leadership as it is at the moment...

I guess you can learn a thing or two from the US and realize what union means... so bad it takes ages to actually understand it.

The main question raise from this, at least for me, is how the 'Brexit' plan is going to affect this for UK citizens - it's gonna suck if we can't get to use our plans in the same way as is expected with this change.

So, this means we'll just use our call and data plans like we'd be in our own country? Or is this just for calls?

And this is why EU deserves love. They recomended the standard charger, now are banishing roaming. Not to mention more important stuff like making it easy for all EU citizens to travel within EU, and even further. And then some come thinking that exiting it would be a good idea..
