From Thursday you will no longer have to worry about picking up huge data roaming when you are visiting other European nations.
Roam Like Home’, a new law passed by the EU, enables phone users to use their phone at no extra cost when they’re on holiday in Europe.
As of tomorrow, #roaming charges in the EU will no longer apply! ??
You will call, text and use data at the same price as you pay at home. pic.twitter.com/Hzb0L2qCZw— European Commission (@EU_Commission) June 14, 2017
Experts are warning that there is a downside, however.
Without being limited to wifi coverage, tourists are expected to be using their mobile phone a lot more when out and about and that means uploading photos to Instagram and Facebook while at tourists sites.
This could slow already over stretched networks in cities and tourist hubs.
