After reading your recent letter regarding BT, I felt compelled to share my own negative experience – specifically, the exorbitant roaming charges I incurred while sleeping on an overnight ferry. At 11:59 PM, I received a text message from BT warning that I was now utilizing maritime data at a cost of £12.01 per megabyte. By 1:44 AM, another text arrived stating that I had spent £35 and reached my data roaming cap, preventing me from using any further data. The simplest solution to avoid excessive charges is to disable your data or activate flight mode on your mobile device. We recently reported on the reintroduction of roaming charges for British travelers in mainland Europe.
