I was wondering when someone would attempt that.
The free roaming has worked well since Brexit only because nobody dared introduce it again.

Most companies dropped free EU roaming almost right away.

I don’t know about your country, but in mine, most if not all mobile data providers include free EU roaming if not in all plans then at least in some.

Well, it’s not about any country but the UK which left the EU. Free EU roaming is an EU legislation, so obviously the UK is no longer covered by it.

There’s actually a lot of EU laws that still apply to the UK, so if the UK government had wanted to be kind to its citizens, they definitely COULD have retained free roaming too.

Then I’m curious in which EU country you’re living. As far as I know, only EU/EEA and 3 EFTA countries have free roaming in EU. According to Wikipedia that is.
UK wanted out, completely out, so that what happened to UK provider, they are out and get charged. No wonder that customers now get charged as well. Nothing to do with Greed, just the result of leaving and the Anglo-Saxon economics, the user pays.

I'm in Northern Ireland and haven't heard of a single company that dropped free EU roaming.

Then you must not have read the linked article, which mentions three companies that have done just that.
