A company using it's compliance to regulation as a PR exercise? Who'd have thought it!
Phone companies in the UK at least do this boasting EU free roaming as a "feature" they're so nice to provide, except that it's UK law. Three are the only network that did this voluntarily (and their Feel at home thing is also many places outside the EU which is nice)
- NicoJuicy 9y agoIt's a EU law, not an UK one
- dingaling 9y agoAnd a ridiculous one. It's a Common Market, not a Price-Flat Market.
- mantas 9y agoThere're safeguards put in to prevent price-flat market situation. And it's damn nice when a day's trip to neighbouring country doesn't mean switching SIM cards or outrageous fees.
- NicoJuicy 9y agoExplain that too people where their SIM card switches to the neighbooring countries provider. And more importantly, surfing while on vacation in the EU ( 100 mb) won't cost you 200 €'s anymore. Some people had a vacation bill of 9.000 € of their provider ( source: newspaper & victim was local politician)
- Angostura 9y agoThat is exactly what the regulations put in place. They don't mandate a price-flat market.
- antihero 9y agoIt means more competition, because consumers can choose between effectively any provider in the EU. So if the providers in say Germany have awful deals, you could get a SIM from a company in the UK that has less shitty deals.
- antihero 9y agoI actually knew that, fuck knows why I typed UK.
