If the UK leaves without a deal, Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright has confirmed that mobile operators will be able to implement roaming charges if they want to. But he added that the government would be legislating to put a £45-a-month limit on the amount that customers could be charged for using mobile data abroad.

Because the government could not and wanted to legislate that mobile providers limit the cost for roaming.Mobile roaming charges: What will happen in Europe after Brexit? So it is up to the companies whether to charge, I would like to know why you are so confident they will not start charging again?

Someone listed Three's countries and I don't think France was on it so that may explain it? It's irrelevant though as pointed out, it allows free roaming on their network only. Not the same as the EU directive(which is a godsend in my experience!).

It was not widely advertised but it is a matter of going into your account and ticking a box.I can't remember the name of it but it was free and still is.
prawnsambo wrote: » Not absolutely global? They're not in the US, Canada, South America, Japan, China or Russia to start with. That's wiping out a hell of a lot of the globe right there. And they're not in a large number of EU countries either. You couldn't even say they were 'almost' global.

Will he do what's best for the country or will he have the blinkers on going down with this sinking ship. Personally if Corbyn stepped a side and pushed labour votes behind Clarke my estimation of Corbyn would sky rocket but I cannot see it happening. It's been a long time since UK Politicians have done something for the greater good of their country rather than their party or personal glories.

To me, it's going to take someone like Ken Clarke on a very temporary basis to unite enough MPs to defeat No Deal. Corbyn is so divisive that Tories will never row in behind him. Clarke has the respect of the entire house and would be ideal on a limited timeframe - but, it's very hard to see it happening.
