    This means that when you make a call, send text messages or surf the Internet from the United Kingdom (to an EU country), consumer prices may be higher than in an EU country given that operators are allowed to apply a roaming surcharge.

    For now, however, certain operators are still applying the “Roam-like-at-home” regime in the United Kingdom on a voluntary basis.
