What are the Fair Usage Policy (FUP) limits for free EU roaming after June 15th 2017?
On June 15th, the EU will abolish roaming charges across all member states. However it's not entirely clear what FUP limits have been eventually negotiated:
- How much data can you use on your plan before the operator can start charging you extra?
- Exactly how much is the operator allowed to charge for data once you exceed your FUP limit?
- What are the equivalent limits and charges for calls and text messages?
- The official EU page about roaming costs mentions that "Roaming charges will no longer apply, as long as you are using your phone abroad temporarily". How long is temporarily and how much will you be charged if you stay for longer?
- Are there EU countries with special rules? E.g. I've read that Lithuanian operators are allowed to apply higher roaming charges to protect their market - is there a centralized page where I can learn about all the exemptions?
Links to official EU resources are highly appreciated. Kindly avoid referencing vague or unprecise statements - I assume that exact rules are already available somewhere, since the free roaming begins in 2 weeks.
