UK roaming charges compared, network by network
Roaming in Europe costs £2.72 to £2.75 a day on most UK networks (O2 includes it), and £6.00 to £8.00 a day further afield. A travel eSIM covers the whole trip for one price, and you keep your own number for calls and texts.
A week abroad: your network or a travel eSIM
Each network's pay monthly price for 7 days, from its own site: the cheaper of seven daily charges and a 7-day pass.
