No, not at the moment. EU is changing the law. There will be no roaming costs starting in 2018 I think.
Meanwhile best is to get a sim card in every country you go to or use public WIFI hotspots (MCDonalds, Hotels, Restaurants, ...)

From June 2017 on, telco providers in the EU are no longer allowed to make a price distinction between national and roaming charges. They are however still allowed to keep roaming out of their standard bundle. Meaning they might charge you for roaming like they would charge you for going over your bundle volume. It is still unclear whether that will be the way it'll go. I haven't seen any telcos make statements to clarify how they will implement it. At least the telco I work for hasn't taken an official position yet. I guess they are all just waiting to see what the others will do.

Why not just use your UK SIM? From June it won't cost anything to use it across the EU.
10 euros a day, 300 euros a month? That's a ridiculous amount of money.

I tend to agree with AnTyx there - if you are in the UK, consider buying a SIM from Three if you are not already a customer - they already offer mobile date internet roaming as part of their monthly bundles in all their 'at home' countries, which includes the vast majority of mainland Europe already.

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.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
