How does EE roaming work?

EE roaming works as the same way you would use your EE SIM only plans in the UK, the only difference is that you will in another country. However, you must travel to the countries that have EU roaming.

Does EE roaming have extra charge?

The best part about EE SIM only deals is that EE customers are eligible for EE roaming which allows you to travel around the EU and use your EE SIM only plan like you're at home.

This means that when you travel around and use EE roaming you will not have any extra charges, so customers have the luxury of travelling abroad and stay active on social media like Instagram and retuning back to the UK without a extra bill.

EE customers can take advantage of this by enjoying the feeling of roaming around Europe like you're at home.

For example, imagine travelling to the Eiffel tower and posting a selfie to show people back in the UK your amazing trip or relaxing in the beaches in Spain and posting a photo on Facebook and only using your allowance, no extra charges.

The minutes and texts also apply in EE roaming and you won't have to pay extra for using your minutes and texts, however be mindful that you will be using your allowance so when you do finish your data, minutes and texts from your allowance you'll need to top up.

Therefore, EE roaming does not have any extra charges but just whatever you have on your allowance so make sure you save your data and don't get carried away when posting on social media.

What destinations has EE Roaming?

EE roaming has amazing roaming destinations in the EU that will let you travel to and not have to pay for any extra charges but if you do decide to travel outside the EU EE customers will have to pay extra charges for using your data, calling and texts.
