This is merely providers trying to be competitive and gain market share before EU abolishes roaming fees on 15th June [0].
A lot of providers I've seen have in the small print a limit for the time you can spend outside the home country (e.g. Three with their 'Feel At Home' limit you to two months a year abroad), so it'll be interesting to see what they come up once this comes into effect.
I'd be very surprised if my €5/month 'unlimited' (fair usage) 4G will really be unlimited throughout the EU.

- wiredfool 10y agoLast year, I had a 3 UK data sim (30pounds, 12 gig, 1 yr) that travelled with me, and it was good. Ireland was fine, France was fine. This year, I got a new one, and once I cross into Ireland it's throttled pretty badly. Which is better than my Irish one that goes on roaming at .25/meg once I cross the border, but it's still not as good as it was.
- martinald 10y agoYes, but feel at home has predated this for years and also works outside the EU (US/AU/NZ). I don't think it's just that. Though Vodafone's new EU roaming offer is definitely just that.
