Roaming: EC notes the implementation of the next phase of price reductions

[ec] As of today, sending a text message from abroad in the EU costs a maximum €0.11, almost three times cheaper than the previous EU average of €0.28 (excl. VAT). To make a roamed call in another EU country must not cost more than €0.43 per minute, and no more than €0.19 to receive a call. From today, outgoing roaming calls will be charged by the second, after the first 30 seconds, rather than by the minute, and incoming calls will be charged by the second from the first second.

End of 'roaming rip-off': cost of texting, calling, surfing the web abroad to plummet from today thanks to EU action
