>Sadly I feel this deal won't last for long when the UK leaves the EU.

I wouldn't worry too much. The UK providers are quite good with this. e.g. The contract I signed a month ago was 16GB anywhere in EU for 19 quid. (voda). And the prepaid Three network cards can also roam with their data allowance in a sizable number of countries.

But of course they can only offer these prices because the wholesale prices for roaming are capped across the EU (this has been the case for a while now, they have now just reduced those rates further). If the UK operators wouldn't be able to benefit from the wholesale prices anymore, I doubt they could sustain this. Just look at Switzerland, where "all in" contracts with roaming in the EU will set you back around 70-90 CHF...

>But of course they can only offer these prices

They've had them for a while already. Like months.

My (free) roaming Three service works in Norway, which is not in the EU so there is some hope.
