    I don’t know about your country, but in mine, most if not all mobile data providers include free EU roaming if not in all plans then at least in some.

    Well, it’s not about any country but the UK which left the EU. Free EU roaming is an EU legislation, so obviously the UK is no longer covered by it.

      There’s actually a lot of EU laws that still apply to the UK, so if the UK government had wanted to be kind to its citizens, they definitely COULD have retained free roaming too.

        UK has no say in EU regulations any longer and cannot mandate EU network providers to give access to anyone. The only thing the UK government could mandate is to allow free roaming of EU mobile customers within its borders.
