450px La2 euro EU lowers roaming fees furtherEven though the EU is not popular with all of its inhabitants, mobile heads can’t complain too much about their treatment. We have been granted governmentally mandated roaming pr4ice reductions some time ago…and the next reduction is on its way.

Mobile Business Briefing reports the following:

…The maximum permitted charge for making a mobile call while abroad will fall to £0.32 a minute and the rate for receiving calls to £0.125 a minute.

… operators will be obliged to apply an automatic EUR50 cut-off limit on accounts if the customer has not stipulated their own limit … send customers a warning when they reach 80 percent

Not much to add here…

P.S. In Austria, Orange has started to offer aggressive roaming tariffs. Hutchison has done so for some time on its network…
