Hey all, so, Three has finally caught up in the race to cap EU free roaming, however their take is a bit aggressive - I got a text today that if I don't return to the UK by 10/4 my number will be suspended while roaming. Apparently this applies to all types of contracts they have and limits EU roaming to a max of 2 consecutive months, after this your number gets suspended. Curiously this doesn't apply if you're roaming outside the EU and they don't offer some kind of add-on/alternative where this doesn't apply. (I spoke to 4 different reps today, each had a different understanding of the rules and each escalation brought a different response altho it seems they've given me a one time temporary extension for now... suggesting their implementation of this is a big mess).
I spend most of my time outside the UK and while I do have a local SIM, I need my UK number to be active as a bare minimum so I can access UK Gov, banking, basically anything with 2FA which is UK specific. Not to mention it's been my main contact number for over 20 years. Do any of you know what providers are offering good packages with a focus on not too crazy roaming charges which do not place a time period in the contract on which you can't stay outside the UK - information on uSwitch etc suggests most operators have offered a time limit stance but the pages I found are 1-2 years old so thought I'd ask the collective. thanks for any tips..
