I travelled on a boat from Plymouth to Roscoff and got charged £3.28 for out of plan charges for 343KB of roaming data despite not leaving the EU and having almost 1GB of data left on my plan. Once in France I didn't get charged anything as it used my allowance.
Has anyone else had this or does anyone know why this would be the case?

Charged For Data Usage in EU

Hey @vinolent ,
Sounds like you will have connected to a Ferry Network during your travel.
This network isn't included in the EU Roaming which is why you were charged out of plan usage.
There would usually be signs on the Ferry advising of the charges for accessing their network.
It's best to keep Roaming completely off until you're in the inclusive destination for Roaming to avoid any unwanted charges.
