Mobile operator O2<\/a> (VMO2) has recommitted to continue their existing policy of retaining inclusive EU roaming as a standard feature on their plans, which they claim could be helping to save an average family of four around \u00a3100 during a two-week trip away. Across the UK, this could be saving as much as \u00a33m per week throughout 2022.<\/p>\n

At present, O2<\/a> remains the only primary Mobile Network Operator (MNO) not to have reintroduced fees for EU roaming. By comparison, their rivals typically charge \u00a32 per day for customers to continue to consume their UK allowances (calls, texts and data \/ mobile broadband) across EU countries, although some operators may also offer special bundles at a discount.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Inclusive roaming isn’t completely free for data (mobile broadband) usage because a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) exists, which in the case of O2<\/a> imposes a cap of up to 25GB (GigaBytes). Above that, you’ll pay charges for excess use.<\/div>\n

According to a new survey by the operator, a quarter of Brits STILL aren’t aware they may need to pay additional fees for using their mobile while on holiday in Europe. This comes despite 70% saying that connectivity is “important<\/em>” whilst abroad, with Brits most commonly using their mobile while away to stay connected to friends and family (52%), find their way around (37%), book restaurants (26%) and update social media (21%).<\/p>\n

Some 50% also think it’s unfair to pay additional charges for using their mobile whilst abroad in Europe. But beware that VMO2 didn’t include much detail or methodology to support this survey, except to indicate that it was extracted from “O2 Motion<\/em>” data between the beginning of January to the end of November 2022 inclusive.<\/p>\n

Gareth Turpin, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Media<\/a> O2, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We know that many people will be cost conscious when going on holiday this year, so we\u2019re proud to stand out as the only major mobile provider to continue offering inclusive EU roaming, already saving our customers money and providing more value to those travelling post-pandemic. Whilst we\u2019re not able to remove fees on sunbeds and airplane seats, hopefully not having to worry about roaming fees will upgrade the holiday experience for our customers \u2013 whether it is treating themselves to a nice meal or splashing out and ordering that extra cocktail by the pool.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In practice, it’s worth noting that savvy consumers on other operators can often reduce the impact from roaming charges by simply purchasing a special EU or global travel SIM (or eSIM) from other companies at extra cost, or even buying a local SIM with plenty of preloaded data when they arrive.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, O2’s approach often still works out cheaper, and happily it looks like that will continue, at least for another year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
