Yes there have been changes but the full effect does not hit until 2017. Presently Three is just over 24p per minute and under 8p for incoming, Germany is not one of their 'Feel Free at Home' locations... So a local Sim will be cheaper

Tesco mobile let you now roam and it comes out of your allowance. Just back from Spain and it was fantastic.

Guys maybe somebody lives near Chemnitz? I found there seems not bad 75, if somebody would help me with checking that car it would be super.

I was in Germany in December, and texts were a miserly 1 penny each to send, and free to receive.

Although roamed data services now a lot cheaper, following the changes in the EU rules, I think you only get some kind of cut down service. My home network is SFR in France which is part of the vodafone group. When I'm in the UK, if I use a pay as you go vodafone sim card I get 4 G or a strong data connection most of the time, while if I roam on my sfr chip, I never get 4G, the best is poor 3g+ and frequent drop outs. The voice connections are no different. Sorry I have no experience of Germany.
