    Do UK phones pay roaming charges in Finland?

    Why roaming costs differ for visitors from the UK.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    It depends on your network. Since the UK left the EU, UK operators no longer have to apply roam like at home. Many charge a daily fee to use your allowance in EU countries. EE, for example, lists a daily charge of 2.47 pounds for many of its plans. Check your own network before you travel.

    Why

    1. The EU roaming rule applies to operators in the EU and EEA, not in the UK.
    2. EE lists a daily EU roaming charge of 2.47 pounds on many plans.
    3. Some UK plans include EU roaming, so terms vary.

    Details

    If your plan charges by the day, the fee is usually only taken on days when you use the phone abroad.

    Tip

    Use free Wi-Fi at the airport, on trains and in libraries to keep roaming days to a minimum.

    What may differ

    Prices and terms change. The EE figure is an example from its roaming page, not a general rule.

    Common misconception

    UK phones still roam free in the EU like before Brexit.

    What actually happens

    UK operators set their own terms now, and many charge a daily fee.
