Well, "Monitoring" your roaming behaviour is very vague. The provider can measure the time logged into the roaming network or billing for roaming. Both ways are allowed.

The 4-months-rule only applies to newly activated SIM cards. Existing users who have paused their SIM and using it for roaming can actually face a shorter or longer period.

So, first of all we should establish or detect if a provider is really enforcing these time-based FUPs. One hint is mentioning it and how this is done. This is a prerequisite for enforcing it. But even when they are mentioned, they are often not enforced (yet).

I mean there are not so many options left with good prices: Spain (Orange and MVNOs), UK (but not so good rates), Italy (esp. Wind), Croatia (Bonbon), France (Free mobile). It only comes down to a few as we can count out Poland, Austria and Romania for enforcing the FUP and the Baltic States and Scandinavia for opting out of RLAH.
