Mobile Network Coverage Abroad

As our lives become more mobile and thanks to the EU's regulation to drop roaming charges in June 2017, knowing which network service you will get in a foreign country becomes ever more important. Unforunately, most providers do not give out this information readily. In addition, many budget or mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) offer fine 4G service in the home country, but resort to second or third tier networks in foreign countries.

This list documents which mobile provider you will be using when you go roaming in a foreign country. It is ordered by the origin of your home provider, and then lists in a table all known roaming partners for this provider.

The document relies on your collaboration and really is a community effort. If you have a provider that is not the list or visited a country that is not in the list (of which there are many currently!), please add it here by filing a pull request on GitHub or creating an issue! Moreover, providers can change their partners, thus verifying existing information by updating the date helps, too!
