Free data roaming across the EU will continue even if Britain crashes out of the bloc without a deal, the government announced today.
Ministers have struck a deal with Europe's four largest mobile operators - including Vodaphone and EE - to ensure there is no return to the rip-off fees of the past.
The news came in a series of technical noticed published on Thursday by Brexit secretary Dominic Raab, following on from a first series in August.
Britons will be free to use their mobile phones anywhere in the EU without incurring extra charges even after Brexit, the government has said
Other areas covered by the documents include the impact of a no-deal scenario on standards relating to the environment and vehicles.
The papers were published after a special meeting of the Cabinet focused on how a no-deal outcome could be handled.
Mr Raab, who will hold talks with EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier in Brussels on Friday, revealed the news on roaming charges in a column for the Telegraph.
He added: 'With six months to go until the UK leaves the European Union, we are stepping up our "no-deal" preparations so that Britain can continue to flourish, regardless of the outcome of negotiations.
'These technical notices are part and parcel of our sensible, pragmatic approach to preparing for all outcomes.
Brexit secretary Dominic Raab made the announcement in a new series of technical papers outlining what will happen to Britain even in the event of a 'no deal' exit
'Getting a deal with the European Union is still by far and away the most likely outcome, and I will continue to champion our Chequers proposals with Michel Barnier as the best way of securing the deep and special partnership we want.'
The EU put pressure on mobile phone companies to reduce fees over the last decade before abolishing them altogether in June 2017.
Earlier this year, the anti-Brexit Best for Britain group calculated that the average business customer could expect to pay £778 more per month if the charges were reinstated after Brexit.
The group argued that this would put British businesses at a competitive disadvantage over our neighbours, whose workers would pay nothing.
Previously, the only countries to enjoy free data roaming without being part of the EU were those who were part of the single market - such as Norway.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
