True that . They also let you use your data allowance wherever three operates, without any extra charges. . I've been using my 3-italia simcard whenever i go to the UK for years now. Look for their pay as you go plans.

Naturally all this will be moot starting tomorrow......

www.yallo.ch

has sometimes special offers. Between 40-50 USD / month with 40 GB of Roaming in EU/CH a month. Free calls inside of switzerland / EU also roaming calls.

The Abos has can be cancelet each month.

Good if you need highspeed and an amount of traffic. In Europa you mostly will find 4G, in rural areas 3G with a good speed.

Has to be optained in Switzerland. Please consider the EU borders, going east is soon non-EU areas and you had to buy roaming units.

Until the end of 2020 the UK remains a de facto non-voting member of the EU, so all data plans are still applicable without any extra roaming charge within the whole of the EU (for 90 days I believe).

After that it depends if our government are able to negotiate their way out of a paper bag. Other EU states will continue to enjoy free roaming, so if you're visiting the EU you can buy a SIM in any country and use it without roaming charges in all EU states.

Currently there is a good offering from Vodafone through their Voxi brand with endless data plans (including 5G if your phone has it) for £35 a month on a one month contract - all the Voxi contracts include endless calls and texts and there are limited data plans from £10 per month for 6GB (they are always having special deals to get extra dat on one of their plans) up to £20 per month for 45GB. The coverage is across Europe Using the Vodafone and EU roaming is enabled so calls and data are as if you are at home.

I am pretty impressed with it so far and won’t be changing anytime soon.

I wonder if Vodafone UK will still offer free EU roaming once it's not required to by law.

A very good question however they may have an issue when it comes to contracts as many people will have a contract that states that they have roaming and if they try to renege on that then I would expect it to end up in court.
