Re: Typical.
How so? The overseas networks don't provice their service for free any more than your local one does.
I go there, they come here, costs virtually nothing more ... I have had all inclusive roaming (3G, 30 days/year) in the EU+EFTA for some years now, am on a 16euro/month (SIM-only), unlimited texts/calls/data on 4G/LTE (download rate drops somewhat after 100Gb). Now, I get 25Gb data/month (when roaming in Europe, US, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand). Oh, and of course, I can call landlines in ~100 countries + mobiles in US & Canada ...
If you live in the EU and pay more, you are being ripped off.
