The European Commission has announced that it wants to cut “roaming” costs on mobile phones, and has introduced new rules aimed at reducing pricing in and around There is currently a large price gap between using your phone at home and when you are abroad, with extensive “roaming” charges being enforced when calls are made or received, text messages sent or data downloaded.
Current EU roaming price caps will expire at the end of June 2012. The authorities fear that without putting more plans in place, prices could pick up to pre-2007 levels. However, the new, lower price caps would not come into force until July 2014, and would be introduced in stages.
The hope is that by then, mobile phone customers will be able to separate their national and overseas contracts and shop around. Keeping the same phone number, you will potentially be able to switch to a separate operator in another country, and get a cheaper deal for surfing the web.
