Roaming fees are back.

It’s the latest Brexit u-turn: in January 2021, the UK’s four major mobile phone networks – O2, Vodafone, Three and EE – all promised customers they wouldn’t be reintroducing roaming charges in Europe post-Brexit. .

Roaming charges – commonplace in the 2000s and 2010s – were outlawed by the European Union in 2017. Some fair use limits were applied, but businesses operating in EU countries were prevented from charging customers extra to use their phones outside their home country

Brexit a very expensive cross in the box and it’s just the start .

There’s literally a shed load of similar deals Ant, I’ve just come back from a few weeks in Cyprus, used my phone a few times for taxis etc, data for directions and all that stuff, didn’t pay a penny because my service provider has a fair usage policy, the same policy that is applicable to the whole of the EU, ‘We’ve’ been through all of this before years ago. If you live in the EU and travel to another EU state you do not pay roaming charges PROVIDED you keep to the fair usage policy dictated by your PROVIDER, NOT the EU. If you do not keep to the terms the EU sets the maximum that can be charged. Currently I think €2 per GB.

My charge, being a resident of the U.K. roaming in the EU is different it’s 10p per MB in excess of the fair usage policy. Apples and Pears.

My main concern with it all is, thirty odd years ago I started visiting the same hotel in Cyprus, there was a phone in the room but no phones around the pool or in the bar. Now almost everybody around the pool and at the bar is on the bloody phone ffs. Why, most of the stories before the roaming charge block of people paying loads of cash was for idiots downloading Eastenders or whatever, perhaps understandable in the 80’s when a VHS tape only lasted 3 hours but ffs, go on holiday, chill, eat & drink why oh why sit at the pool on your phone?

Anyone with a reasonable amount of sense can work out the cheapest or most cost effective way of doing things, the likes of Martin Lewis are there to protect the thick from their own stupidity and to make himself money.

If the stories are right the EU is targeting the Dairy Industry in Holland, the Fishing Industry in Ireland and now the beef industry there as well for termination.

I would rather be forced to pay £2 or £10 for a months roaming, even though I wouldn’t because there are ways around it than be forced to kowtow to the EU and still get butt ****ed whilst I’m bent over.

But there again a bloke who thinks there are forty new ferry routes to Ireland has probably had the common sense shagged out of him already.

Perhaps the new routes can be escorted by HMS 7 which is still in service.

Anyone for a nice plate of testicles.

Might be some environmental bonus from the EU actions, will save those fishing boats being out at sea whilst still tied up to the docks with fifty mile long ropes.

Better be careful, no, not the dark alleyways this time, we all have to take care because Lewis might be more clever than us.

But then again, some would say that ALL of those problems are insignificant when you consider the price of chicken in India.

And yet, there you were, claiming that roaming charges were going to be a problem until four "thick" Brexit voters pointed out that it really isn't.

Pro-tip: Never call other people thick when you can't manage to follow the basic rules of written English.

More than once ! as clod just regurgitates the same crap as soon as he hopes everyone has forgotten it.

I will say though,  I think Martin Lewis seems like a genuinely nice fella. I know for a fact he donated a HUGE wad of cash to the Citizens Advice Bureau which has helped countless people. A localish branch to me in Lichfield that has been based in an old rundown terraced house for longer than i've been alive was saved from having to close down and also refurbished due to his help.

My advise is dont depend on anything usefull from CAB,they are only able to "advise' you is its on the screen in front of them ,they have even given me the wrong advice despite it being right under their nose (one went to consult a full timer and i scrolled down the page to the answer ,she was miffed i had done so and switched off the pc on return saying i was incorrect when i answered the question and they couldnt help) Any slightly difficult questions go right over their heads!

They use the citizens advice website to gain their knowledge if the answer isnt there they dont have a clue ,most are clueless (but obviously willing to help) about reality ,most in farnham are retired upper middle class bored retirees.

https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/adviser-resources/aadvisernet-information-system

On clicking my link the actual database isnt available anymore  and now it appears they charge their centers to use it (some charity they are!) ,the basic answers are available above though

Bloody hilarious, People who say “Whitby Scampi” are thick.

By his own beloved EU rules Whitby Seafoods Scampi point of origin is “Whitby Yorkshire.”

No such thing as Whitby Scampi? Perhaps he ought to complain to the EU gods, oh wait, he can’t because we have left the EU. Too hard for you to understand?

[Huge_Vitae]

Contrary to this position I suppose he thinks that someone who thinks “Mountain Oysters” (testicles) is seafood is a rocket scientist!

And let’s not forget the sheer brilliance and outstanding thought process behind a **** who thinks the increase in chicken prices in India is due to Brexit!

Hilarious.
