EU Data roaming charges to be scrapped by June 2017


Recommended Posts

According to the BBC,

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-33325031

an agreement has been reached to abolish data roaming charges within the EU by June 2017. From April next year, the limits on the additional charges for roaming (over and above those that you would be charged in your home country) will be restricted to:

  • €0.05 (3.5p) extra per minute for calls
  • €0.02 extra per SMS sent
  • €0.05 extra per megabyte of data used
Of course, if the UK leaves the EU then those of us who are UK-resident won't get the benefit ...

That was scuppered by the individual governments rather than the EU: see:

I'll believe it when I see it happen

It can still be scuppered when it is passed to the individual member states for approval, as happened last time.
