Data Roaming

[Anonymous]

So Vodafone have announced that there will be no extra charges for Data Roaming.  Maybe this is something o2 should consider because this sounds like a great deal to me....

All networks will be forced into this in some shape or form from June as it's an EU mandate.

I hope you're right @MI5.  If not, I'm off to Vodafone!!

as @MI5 said all networks have to put this in place by June 15th as per OFCOMS ruling

Networks will have no choice. Strangely enough there will be roaming charges if you LIVE abroad with a UK mobile so this may well be my last contract.

Considering the data service that now forms part of O2 Travel, I'll be travelling with another sim from now anyway.
Worst I have ever experienced..WAP was faster

We just don't know officially from O2 yet what their plan is to comply with the ruling.
