Tesco Mobile Extends Free Roaming Beyond 2026 Across 48 Destinations

UK travellers face mixed roaming charges after Brexit, making Tesco's decision to keep domestic rates when abroad notable.

Overview

  • The extension lets customers use their UK data, minutes and texts at no extra cost in a specified list of 48 European countries and related territories.
  • Tesco Mobile says there is no setup or hidden fee, and it has published the full set of eligible destinations.
  • Fair‑use limits still apply and depend on each Tesco plan, aligning with industry practice on roaming allowances.
  • Many competitors now charge daily EU roaming fees, including EE (£2.59), Three (£2), Vodafone (about £2.42) and Sky (£2).
