Incorrect. The regulation only applies when roaming.
To take three UK for example:
Calling Spain from the UK: 46p/min
Calling Spain from France while roaming: inclusive in minutes allowance, otherwise 3p/min.
I also checked Vodafone.de and it's the same thing - nearly €1/min if you're in Germany, or inclusive if you're roaming.
It's a bit of a joke really. I don't know why the EU didn't think of this.
- matteuan 9y agoSome years ago happened a similar thing with SMS. For example within Italy they costed 15 cents, but between countries 13cents because of the EU regulation.
- matthewmacleod 9y agoAhah, I see. It's quite hard to see what's going on through the contract language!

- wila 9y agoThat is correct. Calling from your own EU country to any other country within the EU is still costing extra. Technically it isn't roaming and the telcos happily charge you premium as it does not fall under that regulation. Many people will be confused by this bit.
- tpm 9y agoEU mostly regulates inter-state commerce, not internal markets in countries, that's the job for the local regulators.
