Still not sure what it will mean next year when roaming is abolished? I assume it won't mean free (ie coming from our allowances) or charged local rates or home country rates?

From a business publication quoting the European Commission.


Coming into force on June 15, 2017, the deal means "you can use your mobile device when travelling in the EU paying the same prices as at home," the European Commission said in a statement.

"If you pay for a monthly volume of minutes, SMS and data in your country, any voice call, SMS and data session you make while travelling abroad in the EU will be deducted from that as if you were at home, with no extra charges," it added."

Finally. So, as of today, eurotraveller daily charge does not make to much sense.

Or at least reduce the daily cost of eurotraveller.
