This is a great situation.
I moved from Ireland to Germany, where I was shocked to discover the stingy as f*ck data allowances that many German networks have. Sure, they have LTE everywhere, but what use is that when you are capped at 400 or 500 MB? It's like having a sports car and only being able to drive on a short track.
Now I can get a great deal in some other country (perhaps one with a low cost of living), and simply use that, with better service and lower cost.

- patrickk 11y agoThey are in the EU also ;) It's mainly data plans I use, Whatsapp/Viber/Telegram and skype over wifi for international calls. Phone calls are a minor thing for me.
- dalai 11y ago> They are in the EU also ;) I thought they capped just the roaming charges, isn't calling to mobile numbers in other EU countries still (relatively) expensive? My german carrier currently charges 20 times more for those.
- zeerakw 11y agoAs far as I've read that's unchanged. So roaming will be free but calling other numbers won't be. But I guess you'll see that the most popular providers will expand as smaller providers close down.
