    Has anyone compared O2's roaming charges for Irish customers abroad versus their UK counterparts travelling abroad?

    The difference is considerable.

    These are the charges for an Irish Monthly Bill Pay customer roaming in Belgium.

    International Roaming - Belgium

    O2 Incoming Peak 0.62 0.62 0.62
    O2 Incoming Off Peak 0.47 0.47 0.47
    National Fixed Peak 0.99 0.69 0.84
    National Fixed Off Peak 0.39 0.38 0.54
    National Mobile Peak 0.99 0.69 0.84
    National Mobile Off Peak 0.39 0.38 0.54
    To Ireland Peak 1.43 1.36 1.38
    To Ireland Off Peak 1.08 1.03 1.38
    SMS 0.35 0.17 0.18
    To UK Peak 1.23 1.17 1.38
    To UK Off Peak 0.92 0.87 1.38

    And here are the tariffs for UK customers.

    So, calling the UK from Belgium costs the UK customer 50p per minute, while the Irish customer pays a minimum of €1.36 peak and €1.03 off peak.

    Typical.
