Three Ireland has pledged not to re-introduce roaming charges for customers visiting the UK after Brexit.

The company said the commitment will stand regardless of whether the UK secures a withdrawal agreement.

Meanwhile Three UK has made the same commitment for its customers travelling to Ireland.

Three, which boasts 2.2 million customers in Ireland, said it is currently the only Irish operator to make the promise to its customers.

Three Ireland CEO Robert Finnegan said: “Brexit is causing a lot of uncertainty in Ireland amongst businesses and consumers.”

“The reintroduction of roaming charges is a real concern especially for those living in border areas and for customers who travel regularly to the UK.

“We are taking the industry lead on this issue and giving the assurance to our customers that the roaming experience that they have in the UK today will continue after Brexit, whatever shape that takes.

“Our sister network, Three UK, has made the same commitment so Three customers north and south of the border do not need to worry about the reintroduction of roaming charges after Brexit.”
