Im under the impression that existing 321 sims carry on under the old
pricing. So not a price rise, technically a withdrawn and replaced product.

well yes. That seems to be the case but its still a tripling in price. Why?

Not at all. Without a trade deal - which is looking increasingly likely -
connection and roaming charges to the EU are likely to go up for uk
networks from 31st December.

They are just as likely to stay the same. No service is being pushed
across an EU boundary. You will tell me next there will be a surcharge
for accessing the European Internet.

The analogy is incorrect. We very obviously pay different rates for roaming
in and calls to other countries outside of the EU. Try making calls in
Australia or Singapore with a UK a SIM for 3ppm. Likewise Russians or
Egyptians calling EU residents pay more than we do currently. That's what
being a "third country".

these are merely places where no decent service provider deals are done,
it has nothing to do with government *unless governments choose to
intervene*.

The EU did and bigs it up as a huge success.

But glancing at my 3 mobile prices chart, half the world is in the same
roaming rate as EU destinations.

It simply has nothing to do with Britain's status in Europe or not. Its
another remoaner myth .

Like food standards, UK food standards are in general higher than those
of the EU, we cannot refuse food from eastern Europe that we would not
allow to be produced in this country, for example.

And yet they've unilaterally increased prices, which you were bitterly
complaining about. Hmm...? The timing is suspicious and I won't be
surprised when the other networks lose their 321 or similar plans.

It simply has nothing to do with Britain's status in Europe or not. Its

Roaming costs for all EU citizens were absolutely dropped by the EU
commission. That's undeniable.
