Calling from Europe set to be cheaper with 3
Calling from Europe set to be cheaper with 3
Customers of mobile phone provider 3 travelling abroad in Europe will be able to make calls for 47 per cent less than the European Union's new capped tariffs.
The EU recently said it will be capping mobile roaming prices from 30 August to 38p per minute to make a call or 19p a minute to receive a call. But users on the 3 network will pay 25p a minute to make a call and 10p to receive calls, and text messages will be fixed at 25p.
The new overseas charges will apply for both pre-pay and contract customers. Anthony Ball from mobile phone price comparison site Onecompare.com said: 'This is a fantastic cut. Customers on other networks should watch what their provider does - your provider should give you the opportunity to switch from their international tariff to the EU "Eurotariff" when it comes into force.'
