Mobile phone charges when at sea or near borders

tf1info.fr (French)

Mobile phone users can incur out-of-plan charges near borders or at sea if their device connects to foreign or satellite networks. This can happen even if the user remains geographically close to their home country, as phone networks can automatically switch to stronger signals. Users are legally liable for these charges if they receive a notification SMS about potential fees and do not take action, such as switching to airplane mode.
