The cost of using your phone (roaming ) while abroad is expected to be reduced by up to 50% from 1 July. The event is part of the European Commission's efforts to reduce the cost of approxtreatmentof mobile telephony in Europe.
Following last year's cost-cutting announcement that imposed new restrictions on operators and capping the price of calls, text messaging and data, the European Commission announced that the limits should come into effect from July 1.
Thus, calls that currently cost more than 24 euro cents per minute will be reduced to 19 cents per minute. Best of all, the MB data charge is expected to drop to 20 minutes from the current 45 minutes. The full one follows analysis of reductions as presented by TNW.
Apparently the news shows progress and the important steps made by 2012 have finally been sealed. Let's remind you that the European Commission's goal is to move towards the abolition of roaming charges in Europe by 2016.
