Who includes EU roaming free in 2026?
Since Brexit, UK networks are no longer legally required to offer free EU roaming. Most major networks now charge a daily fee for EU roaming on newer plans. However, several networks — notably O2 and a number of MVNOs — still include EU roaming free. Always check your specific plan terms before travelling.

EU roaming fair-use limits (sometimes called a 'roam-like-at-home' cap) are the maximum amount of data you can use while roaming abroad before charges apply. Once you exceed the cap, you'll either be charged per MB or blocked from additional data. The limits vary significantly — from 5GB (giffgaff, Asda) to 30GB (iD, Lebara).
