MILLIONS of holidaymakers are set to benefit from new roaming rules coming into effect in just weeks.
From October 1, new regulations imposed by the regulator Ofcom will help protect mobile phone users from being hit with unexpected charges while abroad.
The new rules will force providers to alert customers when they start roaming in the EU or rest of the world and to protect them from inadvertent roaming – when you are travelling along a border and connect to another country’s network without meaning to.
From next month, providers will need to tell customers when they begin roaming and of any spending caps.
They will also have to signpost customers to free information on roaming costs where they are.
Before Brexit, you could use your existing call, data and text allowances in Europe at no extra cost.
But when Ofcom unveiled the new roaming rules in March it said it found 14% of UK customers had experienced inadvertent roaming in the previous 12 months.
The regulator also said this rose to 22% of customers in Northern Ireland, where devices pick up signals from the Republic of Ireland.
Inadvertent roaming can lead to significant additional charges for mobile phone users who haven’t even left their home country, it said.
In some cases, people have been charged for roaming from their own homes.
Sue Davies, head of consumer protection policy at Which?, previously said the changes will help prevent people being stung with high mobile bills they aren’t expecting.
She said: “The new rules do fall short by not suggesting that providers should give compensation to UK residents who have inadvertently fallen foul of roaming charges, and failing to outline what this would look like.
“When the UK negotiates future trade deals, it must seize the opportunity to lower the cost of roaming for consumers travelling around the world.
“The UK and EU should also agree a deal on roaming charges that stops people facing extortionate bills from providers.”
Those travelling with EE, Three, Vodafone, Sky and Voxi face different charges.
Here is what you will have to pay when roaming abroad:
O2 doesn’t charge customers roaming charges for using their phones abroad although it does have a 25GB “fair use” data cap.
One quick way to cut the cost of your mobile phone contract is by going SIM-only.
You can get one of these deals if you have already paid for your handset.
They come with a certain amount of minutes, texts and mobile data.
Since you are not paying for the cost of the mobile with a SIM-only package, you can save a hefty amount of money.
Make sure you shop around for the best deal by using comparison sites like Uswitch, MoneySuperMarket and Compare the Market.
Once you’ve found the best deal for you, you can use it to haggle with your current provider if it is offering you a worse price or package.
If your provider refuses to reduce its price, you can always walk away and take the different deal with the new provider.
Make sure you use Ofcom’s coverage checker to find out what signal is like in your area based on the provider beforehand though.
If you’re on certain benefits, it is worth checking if you can get a social mobile tariff as well – it could save you £100s a year.
Simrat Sharma, a mobiles expert at Uswitch, said switching to an eSIM - short for embedded SIM - can be cheaper than using international roaming.
“eSIMs make it easier to change networks,” she said.
“So for example, if you’re abroad you can quickly connect to the local network to pay local rates – without having to add or swap a physical local SIM card for your device.
“This means travel eSIMs are almost always cheaper than using international roaming, as users are effectively tapping into the same network plans as locals.
If you’re regularly switching numbers or travelling to different locations, you’ll be able to keep them all safely in digital format rather than carrying around a number of small cards.
“The software can easily be accessed via your device’s app store and uploaded to your phone in a few quick steps.”

A SINGLE mother was fined £500 for “fly-tipping” after leaving an IKEA cabinet outside her home for people to take away.
Isabelle Pepin, 42, thought she was being helpful and environmentally friendly by offering the unwanted furniture to passersby in the Bournemouth area for free.
She stuck a sheet of A4 paper on it stating it could be taken away by whoever wanted it.
Miss Pepin said an IKEA chest-of-drawers she had also left out were picked up after a short while, but the cabinet was left for a few hours before she moved it back on to her driveway.
She said she was stunned when a council official knocked on her door three weeks later and told her she was being fined for fly-tipping and even threatened her with prison.
The graphic designer and artist was told she had 14 days to pay the £500 fine or it would be doubled.
Miss Pepin, who lives in Southbourne, Dorset, said people leave unwanted items outside their homes almost everyday for others to take for free and re-use.
A similar incident involving a carpet fitter also being fined £500 for leaving an off-cut outside his home for somebody to take for free has also been reported.
Miss Pepin, who lives with her eight-year-old son Bear, was making his tea when the council official turned up on her doorstep and demanded to know her name and date of birth before issuing her with the fine.
She said she started to record the visit on her mobile phone because she felt “intimidated”.
Miss Pepin said: “I have lived in this property for 12 years and I see people in the area leaving things out probably every other day. I love the community factor of it.
“It’s not fly-tipping, that is not what is happening here. It’s recycling things people no longer want or need.
“The guy from the council initially came when I was away and spoke with my housemate about the cabinet that was left outside for a few hours.
“My housemate just laughed because he thought it was nothing serious and so he brought it back onto the driveway and said that he would get rid of it.
“When my housemate told me I thought it was a bit weird but didn’t think much of it.
“Then the guy came back and he was quite intimidating. He was wearing a chest camera and started questioning me about the cabinet.
“I said it was part of the community and had been going on for over a decade. He said it was actually fly-tipping and of course I disagreed with him.
“He then told me that the maximum penalty is £50,000 and prison time. I am usually quite a confident person but by this point I was shaking and panicking.
“He didn’t show any documentation or anything in writing. He did show me an ID card but it was very basic. It was just a picture of him, his name and BCP Council.
“He said I needed to give him my name and address and I would be committing another offence if I didn’t. He then printed off a ticket, saying I had 14 days to pay £500 or it would go up to £1,000.
“Once he left my mum and a friend, who were in the dining room, were asking me what was going on and they couldn’t believe it either. I burnt my son’s tea in the end.
“It was really a horrible experience.”
Miss Pepin also questioned how the incident fits in with BCP Council’s environmental policies. In 2019 the local authority declared a “climate emergency”.
She said: “We are supposed to be pushing a green agenda but the council are going around fining people for recycling.
“I don’t really like to buy new things. I never buy plastic things either.
“My son was confused about why we were being punished for recycling.
“I can pay the fine but it will just make things a little tight this month. They are probably on commission and they don’t really care.
“The man was quite forthright and was trying to get me to admit on camera that I had done it.
“I just fear that this is going to put people off doing this sort of thing.
“I think they are just trying to get back money from people and it is just immoral.”
Jeff Hanna, a local Lib Dem councillor, said he disagreed with his own council’s heavy-handed approach and was looking into the matter.
IT is illegal to keep fly-tipped waste on unauthorised land, even if it wasn’t you who put it there.
If you don’t dispose of the waste properly, you could be fined up to £50,000 – or serve a jail sentence in some cases.
An investigation by The Sun revealed the worst hotspots for fines under the rules in a nationwide “postcode lottery”.
In 2022-2023 Brits were slapped with a whopping £784,923 in Section 33 fines.
Defra figures show that local authorities handed out 73,000 fines in the same time, down from 91,000 the previous year.
A Freedom of Information request by The Sun revealed that the largest fine handed out was in the region of £20,001-£50,000.
He said: “I find it difficult to accept that this is fly-tipping, and think a £500 fine is excessive. I have told officers that I think at most a friendly warning should have been given.
“Enforcement is not carried out by council officers themselves, but by a private company, and I have asked officers to review the contract to avoid this kind of inappropriate use of the legislation.”
Councillor Kieron Wilson, BCP Council’s Portfolio Holder for Housing and Regulatory Services said: “Action on fly-tipping is taken to ensure communities can fully enjoy the place where they live and have pride in their neighbourhood.
“The Council is committed to tackling fly tipping and has contracted Waste Investigations Support and Enforcement (WISE) to investigate offences and administer penalty notices on behalf of the council as appropriate.
“Officers closely monitor and manage this waste enforcement contract, which includes regular reviews, and a commitment to responding promptly to any issues or concerns that may arise.”
Kelly Deane, BCP Council’s Director of Housing & Communities, said: “Since April 2023, 73 fly tipping penalty notices have been issued, with 15 issued in the last month alone.
“Since April 2024, the Council has increased fines for fly tipping to the maximum of £1,000, in line with Government legislation, showing a robust approach.”
WISE have been approached for comment.
FROM mushroom coffee to celery juice, 2024 has already seen a whole host of bizarre wellness fads – but could horse milk be the next big thing?
Experts say it has a range of health benefits; vitamin C, iron, it can boost the immune system and it’s good for gut health.
It’s also lower in calories than cow’s milk, so it may also promote weight loss.
A new study found that when it was used to make ice cream it contained half the fat of ice cream made using cow’s milk.
Polish researchers also found it was high in phospholipids, which can help tackle stomach complaints, certain fatty acids that ease breathing problems, and lactoferrin, which boosts the immune system.
Although the ice creams melted quickly, they said they were “white-creamy and uniform” and they all had a “pleasant creamy taste”.
The researchers said that there had been a “growing interest” in the use of horse’s milk – and this certainly caught my attention.
I reached out to Frank Shellard, the only producer of horse milk in the UK.
He milks 15 mares a day at his farm in Combe Hay, near Bath in Somerset, and sells his Mares Milk online for £6.50 per 250ml bottle – making it about 15 times more expensive than ordinary cow’s milk.
Shellard is in talks to sell the milk at the trendy celebrity haunt Soho Farmhouse, in the Cotswolds, where he already looks after the riding stables.
Guests there have included the Beckhams, Meghan Markle and Tom Cruise, who presumably won’t baulk at the cost.
He says: “We milk them four or five times a day, then freeze the milk and send it out frozen.
“People are often surprised by how tasty it is.
“We now produce around 40 litres a day and it’s becoming more and more popular.”
So how does it taste?
I was pretty apprehensive about tasting it knowing it had been pumped from the udder of a horse – and anyone I mentioned this to cringed at the thought of me sipping it.
I’m not a fussy eater though, so I steeled myself and resolved to give it a go.
Poured into a glass, I couldn’t smell anything unusual. There was no whiff as I’d expected.
Horse milk contains higher levels of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium per litre than both cow, goat, buffalo and human milk
Dr Jose Costa
It looked very white and thin, certainly less creamy, than cow’s milk.
As soon as I took the first sip, you could taste the difference.
It was quite sweet and very watery – more like skimmed milk but even then with less flavour. There was nothing offensive about it though.
The flavour was very subtle, perhaps with a slight hint of nutmeg.
If you can get over the fact it comes from a horse then it could certainly be a great option for the health conscious.
I’m not surprised it has fewer calories. It’s like a very thin skimmed milk with all of the cream removed.
It’s almost translucent and I’d almost describe it as refreshing.
But is all this enough to make you give it a go?
The price might put you off – and the jury is still out about its health benefits as scientific studies are limited.
Consultant and allergy expert Dr Jose Costa is confident about its health benefits and says horse milk is good for bones and may even reduce the risk of cancer.
He says: “Horse milk contains higher levels of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium per litre than both cow, goat, buffalo and human milk.
“This means it is better for supporting skeletal development in infants.
“It’s also higher in essential and non-essential amino acids compared to cow’s milk and it’s richer in vitamin V, providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
“It’s almost nine times higher in vitamin K than human milk, and this supports the healing of injuries and strengthens bones.
“Horse milk is lower in calories due to the lower fat and protein content and it has a high content of enzymes known as Lysozyme, which give it natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
“This has been shown to decrease the incidence of anti-inflammatory diseases, including cancer.”
Frank Shellard, 66, from Bath, Somerset, is the only farmer producing horse's milk in the UK. He claims drinking the milk cut his cholesterol in half after suffering a mini-stroke.
He says: “Years ago a friend of mine went abroad where he saw horse’s being milked.
“I did a bit of research and discovered how incredible horse’s milk can be for your health – Cleopatra used to bathe in it as it’s so good for your skin.
“I decided to give it a go and started milking the horse’s.
“It took quite a while to get it off the ground and then three years ago, I suffered a small stroke.
“This really messed up my metabolism and my cholesterol went through the roof.
“The doctor put me on statins but I struggled with them. I had stomach problems and I felt tired all the time.
“I told the doctor I wanted to come off the statin and that I’d drink the milk.
“In just two months, my cholesterol dropped from 7 back down to 3.5.
“I was drinking 250ml a day every morning and I’d have nothing for an hour afterwards to allow it to get into my system.
“Then I’d have some cereal with the mare’s milk on it.
“The doctor couldn’t believe it but it worked. I wasn’t doing anything differently. It’s just really good at controlling metabolism.
“It’s good for gut health, blood pressure and cardiovascular health.
“It’s sweeter and finer than cow’s milk, with almost a coconut taste to it.
“It’s good for people with allergies too.
“Cows, goats and sheep all have four stomachs. The enzymes in the milk from those animals is different.
“The horse has one stomach the same as us so the enzymes are very similar to ours.
“This means you could be lactose intolerant but drink mare’s milk.
“It’s good for health, but it’s good for the environment too as horse’s don’t produce as much methane as cows.
“It’s not meant to replace cow’s milk necessarily but people would see a whole range of health benefits if they incorporated it into their diets.”
If that isn’t enough to convince you, it could also have a raft of benefits for those with allergies, particularly if people are allergic to dairy or milk products.
Dr Costa, of thechildrensallergy.co.uk, says the proteins in it are more similar to those found in human milk than cow’s milk.
It also contains more whey proteins, around 35 to 50 per cent, compared to the 20 per cent in cow’s milk.
These cause less severe and less prolonged allergic reactions than those in cow’s milk. Whey protein is also better for building muscle.
It’s already drunk in many other countries. In fact, around 30million people worldwide are said to drink it.
A peer-reviewed study suggested that horse’s milk could help to counter the effects of eczema and a few studies in rats have suggested that it could enhance immune responsiveness.
In 2018, researchers at Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan, where horse milk is common, found that the drink had a much higher quantity of albumin — a protein easily absorbed by humans — than cow’s milk.
When digested, these proteins can help to regulate blood pressure and have positive antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
All good news.
And whilst it was less offensive than I’d predicted, I’m not sure I’m convinced enough to pay £6.50 a bottle just yet.
Luna Rossa and INEOS Britannia have continued as they started, both unbeaten part-way through day two of the semifinals in Barcelona.
