    Or we will just see a market in EU sims start up in the UK. Maybe they will take advantage of our new low tax rates.
    You need to think about what you just said. How will buying EU sim cards solve the issue once the UK is out of the E U? Roaming charges work both ways!

      Yes the shortfall in money for already-stretched public services that results from any tax cuts can be made up by the unicorns that will be floating around delivering gold to hospitals.

      Like we've all noted before, you really are a different level of idiot.
      Hard Brexit now!

          UK manufacturing in recession as shoppers hold up the economy due to the sunny weather

          Just wait for March everything will pick up.

            Household debt in the UK worse than at any time on record

            Closing down economic supply chains in March and leaving the supermarkets empty is a master stroke as it will prevent UK consumers from running up even higher debts.

              I don't, you do. You have spent too much time with some of our bottom feeders in this sub forum.

              This was how international travellers did it before the EU finally limited roaming charges in June 2017.

              we managed without this vital concession for 40+ years. Its annoying but not vital.

                What sort of mobile phone did you have 40+ years ago?

                  sorry old age it was 30 years ago for the mobile phones. so we managed without this limit for 29 years and enjoyed it for 1 year. Now we are possibly losing it you are all crying yourself to sleep.

                  Landline call costs across Europe to the best of my knowledge weren't limited despite the EU being about for 40+ years, which is another thing I was hinting at. We used VOIP, Muxes , Private lines and local breakout to avoid these costs because they were so enormous.

                    You just don't get it. Take a look at the charges from non-EU to EU on your own links. Moreover, you have the added inconvenience of having yet another mobile number to give to business associates and friends.

                    Brexiters are clutching at straws to find excuses for the negative consequences of Brexit.

                      As the main suppliers have already confirmed that it is unlikely short term it seems you are clutching at straws.

                      EU to UK pricing & vice versa was much lower than Africa before the EU limited it a year ago so yes the calls costs will be higher on the link I showed.

                      And if it becomes an issue the mobile companies will be undercut by alternative solutions. The most likely one being a redirect to a voip line and / or a native sim. That was what we did with travelling executives 15 years ago when it was a real rip off, we stopped doing that about 2009 well before the EU got excited.

                      Not clutching at straws, I was using it professionally 30 years ago. We had customers that used muxes on leased lines and break outs in each country, in fact they still do, the world is bigger than the EU.
