IMO they should have just made any roaming on non-EU-terms strictly opt-in. It’s madness that you can get billed ridiculous amounts of money just for being too close to a border or ship.
Originally it kinda made sense. Kinda hard to juggle through getting a deal with every single carrier everywhere
But it doesn't.
If you don't have a deal with the carrier, don't automatically connect to it. That is so dumb, (and it also smells illegal to some degree) cause in some cases it can happen on accident, and paying for things you specifically don't want is a really shakey basis in law.
