Even roaming, it is free to receive SMSes for my plan and most plans in Australia. If you need to receive an 2FA token, well, you need to receive an 2FA token.

- renaudg 9y agoYes, I failed to mention the roaming exception was for calls only. Since this summer, roaming charges are also banned altogether within the EU.
- mimsee 9y agoNot 100% right as some companies in EU member countries such as Finland, where I'm from, were allowed to use a certain clause that would allow them to still add roaming charges (mostly data related). This is done because the majority of operators sell contracts based on the speed and not a monthly GB cap. Almost all contracts are unlimited in data. I for one have a ~30€/month contract that has unlimited data with 50Mbps down / 30Mbps up. After the roaming change my contract includes ~6GB of roaming data within EU. When that's reached there is a 0.0057€ per MB price in data abroad.
