Time to Roam Free – Mobile phone users can wave goodbye to ludicrous roaming charges as new EU laws will see the charges abolished from Thursday onwards




There will be good news for mobile phone users from this Thursday onwards as the much hated and highly controversial roaming charges system will be abolished once and for all.

The move which will be welcomed by residents all over the EU comes after the EU commission agreed to proposals that will see all mobile phone operators across its members states being forced into capping all charges for calls, texts and data usage.

Although the new laws were passed in April they will be enforced from Thursday 15th June onwards, the change now means all users will be charged the same rates for calls, texts and data usage as they do at home.

However whilst the move is good news for people here and all across Europe, those in the UK could yet receive hefty roaming charges as a result of Brexit

There you have it feel free to Roam free this summer.
