This summer we travelled from the UK, through France and Spain, returning home. All EU, or our home. I get back to find a £45 additional ROTW roaming charge.
I queried this and was told that logging on on the ferry i used 4mb of data, which cost me £45. Thats ridiculous. Its unnecessary, and will be the cause of me leaving idmobile in eight weeks when my contract expires. A reasonable person can in no way expect this, and I think the company needs to review. I contacted them and was told the above. They seem happy with the status quo, so I'm voting with my feet.
In short hopefully a lesson for anyone travelling and believing the gloss.
