Mobile roaming: EE prompts anger as it increases price by 150%

Network's EU roaming package has risen from 10 to 25 in the space of a few months

EE mobile phone customers have accused the company of ripping them off after the provider increased the cost of its EU roaming package from 10 to 25 a month in the space of only a few months.

While Tesco, Giffgaff, O2 and Virgin have allowed their customers to carry on using their phones in mainland Europe at no extra cost, EE has pushed through a staggering 150% increase to its popular roaming package that has left customers furious, and threatening to leave.
