Inadvertent roaming is when the signal from a mobile phone is picked up by a different mobile network with a better signal.\u00a0 This can happen inadvertently (without you being aware that this is happening).\u00a0 There are some areas in the EU where you can roam onto a non-EU mobile network that is not under the \u2018Roam like at home\u2019 rates. \u00a0For example, if you are travelling in border areas, it is possible that you can connect to another non-EU country\u2019s network and run up roaming charges inadvertently.<\/p>\n
An example is if you are travelling in Italy you might automatically connect to a mobile network in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
To stop this from happening, you can disable the automatic network selection setting on your phone handset so that you only connect to the mobile network you choose.<\/p>\n
