Ofcom says mobile networks would have to tell people when they are going to be charged.
Mobile networks must tell people if they are going to be charged for using their phone abroad under new plans from the UK regulator.
Ofcom says some mobile networks are charging people approximately £2 a day to use their phone abroad. As a result, Three, EE and Vodafone all reintroduced roaming fees for customers travelling to the EU in 2022, while O2 says customers can use up to 25GB of data in a month before being charged.Uswitch mobiles expert Ernest Doku told the BBC the comparison site "strongly supports Ofcom's proposal".
"Our research shows that a staggering £539m of unexpected roaming charges hit UK consumers in the past year alone."
