Text reminders after brexit

Does anybody know what the situation regarding texting abroad will be after brexit? I’m concerned that the mobile telephone networks are going to be charging the earth for texts. If customers are on holiday and i send a text reminder i certainly don’t wish to be paying £1.50p per message or whatever astronomical rate they decide to initiate. Does anybody have any insight as to whether this could cause problems? 

Probably won't change to start with, maybe further down the line they will no doubt try and get more cash out of us.

Most existing customers don’t use whatsapp especially those 50+. Not everybody has a smart phone either

It will never cost you to send text msg to UK number even if the recieient is abroad. If anything, they will pay to recieve texts there... I don't think they can/will go back to charging for use in EU, technology is so advanced and too cheap to justify this.

Is that what sparkies use ?

It's never cost money to text a UK mobile number even if the owner is away, unless you're abroad. Even ringing them is free to you, they however might be charged for the call. I don't believe they are charged for the text unless they reply. 

When we go to Asia at present Vodaphone charge me £5 per day to keep my calls credits and data as if I was right here. 

I don't think the mobile phone companies would ever get a price increase after the recent decreases past Ofcom .

If they do try a price hike it won't be long before one of the big players decides to drop the prices straight back to the way they are now in order to steal customers by the tens of thousands from their competitors .
