EU roaming charges to return

British holidaymakers have benefited from free roaming costs in the EU since 2017. EU rules meant that UK mobile customers could use their mobile call, text and data allowance in Europe without incurring extra costs.

But Brexit means the rule no longer stands. EE and Vodafone have already brought in roaming charges while Virgin Media O2 have committed to free EU roaming.

Sky said it will reintroduce EU roaming charges from 3 May 2022, but it will apply a daily cost cap of £2.

Its Roaming Passport Plus, which covers destinations including USA, Australia and South Africa, will be reduced from £6 per day to £2 per day.

Sky Mobile customers will be able to draw data from their Piggybanks while abroad, helping them to avoid charges for exceeding their data allowance while roaming.

Further, Sky Mobile customers visiting ROI, Isle of Man and Channel Islands will have data come out of their monthly allowances.

The Sky spokesperson added: “Sky Mobile goes wherever our customers go, not just around the EU. To make things simpler, we will now charge £2 per day for data roaming in popular destinations globally – in the EU, the USA, Australia, South Africa and more.”
