Will my mobile phone carrier charge me extra fares if my phone switched to a different carrier while I was using data roaming inside the EU?

Accepted answer

Your phone cannot simply connect to a random network. If you've used data on Orange France there exists an agreement between your Hungarian provider and Orange on mutual roaming, otherwise your phone would not be authorized to join their network. In addition, the EU rules on roaming make no exception for joining a different terrestrial network within a given country. The only exception is for non-terrestrial networks, such as those available on cruise ships:

EU roaming rules apply only to terrestrial mobile networks. As soon as the services are provided through other types of radio networks, via satellite systems on board of ships or aeroplanes for instance, they are not subject to the binding price caps of the EU.
