My UK phone is with Three, on a long contract. When I signed, they advised to get a PAYG SIM card for roaming; looking into it when the time came, the roaming allowance wasn’t great. So I ended up getting a ID SIM, unlimited (UK) with 30Gb roaming allowance, for £20 pm. As I was using it for satnav, WhatsApp, online TV, and tethering for web browsing and blog updates, and being away for five weeks, I wasn’t sure how much I was going to use, but it turned out fine. I was a bit late with reapplying at the end of the month, which got expensive, about £6 for the day I think.
I’ve got another month coming up, so will put the money on it again, and keep my “overseas” number alive. I’m reviewing options on the UK phone; it probably won’t be Three on renewal.

dk168 lucky you! I took my EE package out just over a year ago and for me I'm afraid no free EU data - I'd have to pay £2.87 a day or buy a bolt on for £25.
It is Interesting that it also seems to depend when you took out the package as to whether or not the roaming is free.
THe vagueries of mobile phone deals 
I dragged Muckerette away from Virgin and added her to my existing EE account (inc. free EU Roaming) in the summer of 2022.
I say I was adding her to my existing account, but what actually happened was EE gave us a nice new shiny 2 year contract, without giving any mention whatsoever to EU Roaming.
The next I heard on the subject was... Any contract from June 2022 will not include EU Roaming... blah, blah... £15 bolt on for the month you're away... Each... blah, blah!
That quickly escalated to £25!
That all kicked in about 3 weeks before we got our nice new shiny 2 year contract! 
I have this very week (Now that 2 years is up) jumped ship, and got us both on ID Mobile (Three) on much less per month, and including EU Roaming (Max 30GB each, which is way, way over what we need/will likely use).
Time will tell if we've done the right thing, but losing that free EU Roaming without mention/fair warning, and paying an extra £50 per holiday for our two phones just p**sed me off, I had to leave on principle!
My colleague continues to receive free EU Roaming (from EE), as he continues on an older contract.
I blame Muckerette for moaning about her Virgin Mobile service!
