Lebara, Spusu - added bonus these also include international minutes, so you can call Spanish numbers.

There's no such thing as unlimited data while roaming, Brexit benefit..

I know Spusu is weird with international calling but practically all providers take it out of your inclusive data allowance iirc when calling within the country you're in and the UK right?
Can you rephrase that? Not sure I understood.

I think all providers except Spusu usually take calls when roaming within the country you're in and to the UK from your regular UK allowance?
Three/iD/Smarty/EE do for sure.
Called and texted Spain and France inclusive whilst being in those countries.
You can call and text inclusive from any EU roaming destination to any other EU roaming destination inclusive regardless of international minutes.

e.g Spanish Movistar with smarty roaming to local Spanish Orange call was inclusive,
French Bouygues roaming with iD text to Spanish Orange and Spanish Movistar were both inclusive too.

Edit:: just checked my bills and none of the international calls or texts show on it which is intresting.

edit 2:: they do, they were just in a different section.
roaming EU texts.webp

Blimey, still not sure I understood correctly, but this blows my mind, never knew it.

So what you're saying is that if I'm roaming in Spain with eg O2 UK - without any international minutes addon - then I can call any Spanish number as if I were a local?

You can call or text any number in the EU inclusive of your roaming yes.

edit: see original comment - added pics. These texts to a Spanish number were whilst i was in France.
Also called a Spanish number whilst being in Spain on SMARTY which required no credit or addon.

Shocked that some people didn't know this lol

I didn't realise you could text/call countries outside the one you're in / the UK, thought they were chargeable tbh

As long as you're roaming in the EU, any call or text to a phone within the EU is inclusive.
When roaming outside the EU, it is restricted to the UK and the country you're in yes.
For plans where outer EU isn't inclusive, calls to the same country are charged the same as calls to the UK in most cases.
