Roaming fees to be abolished in EU from 15 June
The European Union will abolish mobile phone roaming charges from 15 June
following a vote in the European Parliament this evening.
MEPs backed a deal between operators and European Union member states that will
mean the end of extra charges when people use their phones abroad in other EU
states.
"Europeans will no longer be in a state of shock when they get their telephone
bills," said Finnish MEP Miapetra Kumpula-Natri, who backed the resolution.
From mid-June, EU citizens will no longer pay extra charges for calls, SMS
messages or internet outside their home countries, when travelling in the EU.
Operators will still have to pay a charge.
EU digital affairs commissioner Andrus Ansip said it would have an "immediate
positive impact on the life of millions of Europeans".
The move will cap ten years of efforts by the European Commission, the
executive arm of the EU, to end roaming charges.
