EE customers stung by new Europe fees in 47 holiday hotspots
Mobile EE customers stung by new European tariffs in 47 holiday hotspots, including Spain, Greece and Italy
Cost: Pay-as-you-go customers with EE now pay 70 pence per minute to call when visiting Europe
EE customers now have to pay extra to use their mobile phones in 47 European holiday hotspots, including Spain, Greece and Italy.
Vacationers risk being stung with huge bills unless they change their account.
Pay-as-you-go customers with telecom giant EE now pay 70 pence per minute to call, or 30 pence to send a text when visiting Europe.
To get on the internet, customers have to pay £3 for 500MB of data, which is enough to stream 100 songs.
Before Brexit, mobile phone providers were not allowed to charge UK customers extra when they were in Europe. But these rules no longer apply.
To avoid the cost, customers can buy a £2.50 daily pass or a £10 seven-day add-on, which will allow them to use their phone normally.
You must sign up for these packages by replying to EE’s welcome text message when your flight lands.
