It depends whether your overseas trip is inside the EU or not.
Unfortunately, the EU Parliament deferred the abolition of roaming charges from the end of 2015 - as planned by the EU Commission* - until next year but the charges are coming down again in April, but note the figures below are surcharges on top of your normal rate.
* Interesting, isn't it, when we've been told for years that the EU Parliament has no powers to overrule the Commission. How much more of what we're told by the 'out' brigade is just a pack of lies? Anyone remember the tales about straight bananas and grey processed peas?
Of course. if we do leave the EU, the phone companies will be able to charge us anything they like, and we won't be able to do anything about it ...
