yuki - queen of the snow@marcohackney what does the second image mean? free mobile data roaming? I've never had that on any of my phone plans!

If You have a data plan in any EU country, the plan still applies when visiting a different EU country. Before 2017 local providers could (and did) apply extra roaming charges:

@pink @marcohackney well, in my experience, it works abroad, but you only get like ~10% of the data you can use at home, sooo
@yukijoou
Does this apply to volume or transfer speed? i.e. in Germany the speed is generally lower because of bad infrastructure. The volume should not be affected. Also not all countries are part of it like Switzerland.

@pink @marcohackney volume! my current plan has unlimited data at home, but only 20gb/month in the EU
@yukijoou
Oh of course, this works only inside the EU. You need a data plan from a provider from a EU country. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Aral Balkan@pink @yukijoou @marcohackney Yeah, it’s free roaming but with a data cap. To be fair, I’ve never hit the cap.
(Compare to non-EU where, if you forget to turn off your data, you can easily find yourself with a €50 bill or more by the time you realise your mistake between the airport and the hotel. Yes, that’s experience talking from the before times.)
