MOBILE phone roaming charges – for calls, texts, and internet browsing – in European Union (EU) countries will be abolished in June 2017, following a vote in the European Parliament. An interim curb on charges will take effect from April next year, prior to the full ban across the EU.
One of the aims of the ban is to prevent consumers being caught out by large bills when downloading films or other data during their European holidays. There have been a number of cases in which mobile users have been landed with bills for hundreds of euros or pounds.
Critics of the ban fear the loss of revenue for mobile phone companies could push up prices in general, including those for non-travellers.
