Lyca Mobile Roaming: Use Your Phone At No Extra Cost In The EU

If you’re travelling abroad this Easter holiday, you can save money with a Lyca Mobile Pay As You Go SIM.

In the past, it was commonplace that you could use your mobile phone at no extra cost when travelling in Europe. However, as of 2025, this is no longer the case and you can now be charged up to £2.59 per day for roaming in Europe. For a family of four who are travelling abroad on a one-week trip, this can add up to an extra £70 in roaming fees.

If you’d like to side-step these EU roaming fees, a good option is to order a Lyca Mobile Pay As You Go SIM. It’s a UK plan that comes with no contracts and no credit checks, with the added benefit that you can use it at no extra cost in the EU. It’s also available on an eSIM for instant online delivery, allowing you to get connected straight away without the need to wait for a SIM card in the post.

In this article, we’ll discuss European roaming charges in 2025 and how they can quickly add up over your holiday this Easter. We’ll then look at how you can save money by roaming on a Lyca Mobile SIM, and at Lyca Mobile’s best Pay As You Go deals with inclusive EU roaming.

European Roaming Fees In 2025

This month, mobile bills have been increasing across the country as the major mobile networks have imposed their latest round of price hikes. Along with the increases to the basic cost of your plan, there are also increases to the costs of international roaming (using your mobile phone abroad).

Going back a few years, all UK mobile networks would allow you to use your mobile phone at no extra cost in Europe. However, in recent years, many UK networks have reintroduced and then increased their EU roaming fees.

As such, as of April 2025, you could be paying up to £2.59 per day extra just to use your mobile phone in European destinations such as Spain, Italy, and France. Although it might not sound like a lot, it adds up very quickly (e.g. you could be paying an extra £70 if you’re a family of four going to Europe for one week).

If you’d like to side-step the April price rises, and benefit from a UK mobile plan that gives you free EU roaming, consider getting a Lyca Mobile Pay As You Go SIM. With their special offers, you can pay as little as £2.50 for the first month (that’s less for an entire month’s usage, than you’d pay for just a single day of EU roaming on the major UK networks). The plans are also flexible with no contract and no credit check, so you can easily adjust or change them over time.
