The European parliament has voted to slash the cost of making mobile phone calls abroad.

At last the European parliament do something good for once

This move could see the cost of calling when overseas fall by up to 75 per cent.

From July, networks have one month to offer the price cap to customers, a month to apply the new rate once the customer responds then a further month to automatically activate capped rates for customers who have still not responded.


contact your service providers to check what tariff you are on, you could be making substantial savings when making calls to friends and family in the UK

Hi Carol

I am not sure I have just signed up to Orange pay as you go and was told to send a text from Corfu to another Orange Mobile will cost me 45p.  Is that cheap?

Have now spent 1 hour trying to work out where to stick the adaptor to top up the battery. I am not very good with these things. Have tried to stick it everywhere and believe me I now know what blue tooth stands for.  The air was very blue around me. 

Son walked in and done it straight away.  God I hate know it all kids.

most major networks offer ‘bolt on’ deals that can reduce call prices by up to 80%.

These usually cost around £2.50 per month, and customers are able to sign up for just the month that your on holiday.”

blue tooth lol....

Don't forget that the mobile operators have said that if they lose out on roaming charges,  they will increase other charges,  or reduce special offers (not so many free upgrades,  cost of 'phones increased etc) so unless you make a lot of overseas calls,  you may be worse off in total.

Sorry to be a bit of wet blanket,  but you have to be realistic,  there's no such thing as a free meal!

I also may be wrong and market forces may stop the operators from increasing their charges etc.
