Now everyone is free to cross borders and continue to call, send text messages and go online like at home….

Love the headline :)
…how long you have waited to use that headline…well worth the wait…
It was killing me – either that or “Fall of the roaming empire…”
this is similarly excellent
+1 :)
Does this include Data? Or is it just calls and texts?
Calls and texts I think. I read that you will get slammed for using Whatsapp etc as before.
Especially if your Mrs sees the Kym Marsh ( yes Frilly, it’s that one again ) video
It includes data :)
It partially includes data. You wont get access to your full data package back home, only to a part of it (which will be derived by a ferociously complex formula). I think most people will end up with 2-3gb of free data usage while roaming overseas.
Roads and the abolishment of roaming charges!
My family, my descendants and I, shall be forever grateful and will continue to vote Blueshirt into perpetuity as a small offering of gratitude.
Just be aware, the roaming calls and texts for most people is only to Irish numbers, i.e., it’s as if you’re at home and calls/ texts to Irish numbers are cheaper/ free, but calls to elsewhere internationally are expensive. So, if you’re on your holidays in Spain, calls within Spain are just as expensive as if you were still in Ireland.
As regards data, most operators have limits, it depends on how much you normally pay for your monthly bill (if you’re bill pay) or your top-up. I’m on a €30 SIM only bill pay plan, and I get All You Can Eat data at home, but only 7GB to use per month while roaming.
Always check it out with your provider *BEFORE* travelling.
Good advice, I read the contract change in for my 3 SimOnly , I was confused enough after to believe , its was as simple as what I read in the meja
In Germany right now and my fookin data isn’t working, at all. Maybe that’s what I get for being on a crappy network. :-/

Until Brexit mwahahahaha
Loving the title of the post. In South Armagh, mobile phone users are charged a roaming tariff simply by walking to a particular part of their house, where they are, according to their network provider in Louth?
Louth defeated Tyrone in the 1957 All-Ireland Football Semi- Final (My dad played for Tyrone that day). They went on to beat Cork in the final. Damn you, “Wee County” – not really, I heart Louth.
