Brittany Ferries - Disable your data roaming
Discussion
Apologies if you all already know this - just found out that although data roaming is usually free in France now, it's £6 a MB on Brittany Ferries. Reason being they have a private mobile phone network on board.
If you get on the boat with data roaming enabled expect a big bill...So big even Brittany Ferries advise you disable it.

Worth having a chat with your Cellular provider, as I had some Phantom Data bills from Argentina a few weeks, despite NOT getting a Welcome to Argentina SMS. I also had not left Chile.
As I understand it, the Service Provider has to notify you of the charges, so therefore if there was no message saying it's £6 per MB (as it is in India and Argentina on Three) they cannot effectively charge you.
I managed to obtain a refund for my 'extra' charges.
