from April 30 calls, send text messages and surf the internet in the EU foreign countries will cost less. It begins the transition period agreed by the EU in October and that will lead to the abolition of roaming in a year.
How much pay?
no more than five cents per minute for calls (compared to the previous 19), no more than two for the sms sent (so far were six) and not more than five per megabyte of data (which, until recently, was set at 20).
How much spare?
Since 2007, when the EU began to decide on actions to reduce roaming prices, these have fallen by about 80% for the calls and over 90% for the data traffic. This does not include cutting into force from today, that is still down the numbers.
Where will be deducted the money?
from 30 April the voice, sms and data will be deducted from the one included in subscriptions to the same limited cost plus a small fee.
as long as there is roaming?
Up to 15 June 2017: from that time the Europeans will pay the same phone tariff provided in their country in the rest of the EU.
Because the EU wants to abolish roaming?
the ‘roam like at home’, that is, the use of mobile phones at home without extra expenses, will have two effects, as explained by the Vice President of the EU Commission responsible for the dossier Andrus Ansip:” savings for European but also bring down the barriers of the digital single market ‘.Finora, the result of the early declines has already brought increased traffic. Especially that of the data, which in nine years has grown by 630%.
What happens to who does the clever?
it remains prohibited to buy a phone card in a country where prices are lower to use it permanently in another country: it is abuse of the that Brussels has called ‘fair use’ and you risk a (salted) cost recovery.
