Ban mobile phone roaming charges.

What the petition asks
Make it illegal for phone companies to charge extra when in European countries, as before Brexit.
When UK was in the EU legistlation was introduced to prevent mobile phone companies from imposing unfair high surcharges when the UK user was visiting other European countries. We were promised existing EU legislation would be upheld in UK Law. This has not happened and mobile phone providers are beginning to take advantage by re-introducing high roaming charges to their UK customers.
