With the exception of paragraph 2, second subparagraph, paragraph 3 and paragraph 6, and subject to the second and third subparagraphs of this paragraph, this Article shall also apply both to data roaming services used by roaming customers when connecting to national or international non-terrestrial public mobile networks provided by a roaming provider and to data roaming services used by roaming customers travelling outside the Union and provided by a roaming provider.
With regard to the facility referred to in paragraph 4, first subparagraph, the requirements provided in paragraph 4 shall not apply if the visited network operator in the visited country outside the Union does not allow the roaming provider to monitor its customers’ usage on a real-time basis.
In such a case the customer shall be notified by an SMS message when entering such a country, without undue delay and free of charge, that information on accumulated consumption and the guarantee not to exceed a specified financial limit are not available.
