EU Roaming MAX limit??

SamStrider — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 11:52:19 GMT

In short: I travel in a campervan in the EU for up to 6 months continuously (whtout coming back to the EU). I travel all over the EU, swapping countries often, but sometimes staying put for months at a time in 1 country.

If I purchase an unlimited data SIM, then always pay the £2/day charge for EU Roaming data, and lets say I do this for 6 months, would I have any issues? I understand the £60/month cost ontop of the unlimited SIM plan.

For reference I would be using 200-400GB/month, not sure if this would matter?

Any further info would be helpful. Thanks!

@SamStrider

Yoh shiuldnt have any issues unless Sky has anything in their terms and conditions about how long you can use a sim abroad for ?

The app ynotjerbthing to check is that all countries you are going to be going to are covered by the £2/24 hour charge and you can do that here:

If there is a country where rest of the world charges apply then you are looking at these costs so make sure your device doesn't connect to a signal in the country where you are near to a border:

£2,160 per GB (yes this is correct)

£2.16 per minute Calls to local or UK mobile and landline numbers

£1.80 per minute to receive calls

£0.50 per text message to UK numbers and mobiles

£0.58 per picture message(MMS)

Hi @SamStrider there used to be an EU ruling that you couldn't roam in the EU for more than 3 months without connecting to your local home network. Since we left the EU I am not sure this is still the case. As you are travelling in the EU it may still apply so something to think about.

I could not find anything about limits in their Terms and Conditions hence this post asking. But yes I do need to be very careful about connection to internet on borders with countries not covered!

most UK sim providers say no more than 60 days in the EU per 4 month rolling, but I can't see any wording like that with Sky.
