The message is because 48 is a virtual network operating on the O2 physical network (same as Tesco, Lycamobile etc.). The phone thinks that it's not on the "home" network (even though it is) and warns you in case data roaming will cost you money. The message is innocuous (i.e. no additional cost to you) but if it annoys you then there is probably a setting to "enable data roaming" (or sometimes "enable national data roaming") permanenently so that it doesn't keep popping up. Have a look in your phone settings to see what's available.

Hope this hepls.
