€2.80 /min to call €2.10 /minto answer calls €0.50 /per text and €7.12 /MB for Data
So if you forget to turn data roaming off before you leave Europe the typical punter will be looking at hundreds of Euro in data charges before they get out of the airport.
Obv this must be a huge profit source for them it would have to be for the business to be worth screwing the few who make a mistake and pissing them off for ever and at the same time pissing of everyone who would willingly pay a fair rate.
It also hits their phone business - for instance I would normally leave my phone on and answer any calls that need to be answered, probably about 100 quids worth but instead my phone number is just switched off for the duration
