Vodafone has reintroduced roaming charges for UK mobile customers travelling in Europe

British telco, Vodafone has announced it will  in Europe for UK mobile customers from January next year.

The company is the latest UK carrier to reintroduce the fees after the country’s departure from the European Union.

The move follows a similar U-turn from EE telco in June

All major carriers in the country previously stated they had no plans to introduce roaming fees in Europe after the Brexit vote – but that has been short promised.

How it works:

The fees will apply to any Vodafone customers who sign up to or change their contract from August 11th, 2021, with the fees applying from January 6th, 2022.

Costs are dependent on a customer’s specific mobile plan, but most customers will pay £2 a day to use their UK allowance of calls, texts, and data within Europe, or £1 a day if access is bought in eight- or 15-day bundles.

But wait, there’s some good news:

Customers signed up to Vodafone’s “Unlimited Data Xtra plan with 4 Xtra benefits” or “Limited Data Xtra plan with 4 Xtra benefits” will pay no extra fee to use their UK allowance in Europe.

All UK Vodafone customers traveling to the Republic of Ireland, an EU member state, will not have to pay any roaming fees regardless of their contract.
