Textually.org: Mobile roaming charges drop across Europe
Mobile phone charges will fall for millions of holidaymakers across Europe from today, after new regulations come into force to drive down the cost of roaming. The Guardian reports.
“The changes – which were originally approved in 2007 – are an attempt by officials to end what they have called excessive charges.
“The roaming rip-off is now coming to an end,” said EU telecommunications commissioner Viviane Reding in a statement. “Expect the new roaming rules to make it much cheaper to surf the web on your mobile while abroad in the EU.”
Examples of specific costs are available at the European Commission’s website. “
