Which? comment on vote to reduce mobile phone roaming charges in Europe

23 May 2007

Following the result of the European Parliament vote to reduce mobile phone roaming charges in Europe, Ceri Stanaway, Senior Researcher, Which? says:

"At last this cap on charges will cut the cost of calls in Europe - roaming charges have been unjustifiably high for far too long.We'll be keeping an eye on UK call costs, though, to make sure the reduction in roaming charges isn't passed on by raising tariffs here.As today's decision only affects EU member states, it'll be interesting to see whether roaming charges now start to come down worldwide.

"The new, cheaper Eurotariff will apply by default unless the customer specifically chooses to opt out, but it's early days yet so we'd still encourage people to check their package with their provider before they go abroad this summer, especially if they're already on a roaming tariff."
