It does, quite a lot. For example, it says you should pay the same regardless where you are in the EU (roaming), it also says you get a clear and transparent pricing for your mobile service, it also says all kinds of things about your rights to cancel, change providers, get refunds etc... you should look it up.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoWhy the snark? Especially since you're beside the point, so let me rephrase with the help of my lawyer: the EU does not say anything about how much consumers should be charged for text messages by their operator (i.e. "cost"). This was clear from my previous comment...
- vasco 2y ago> If you continue to spend more time abroad than you do at home and your roaming consumption continues to exceed your domestic usage your operator may start charging you extra for your roaming use. The surcharges (excluding VAT) are capped at: > €0.022 per minute of voice calls made > €0.004 per text message > €2 per GB of data (cap in 2022, decreasing over time to €1 / GB, which will be the maximum surcharge from 2027 onwards) https://www.google.com/amp/s/europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/internet-telecoms/mobile-roaming-costs/indexamp_en.htm https://www.google.com/amp/s/europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/c...
- mytailorisrich 2y agoSo where does it say how much operators can charge in their plans? Nowhere. They are free to say texts are free (included in plan), or texts are charged at 10 euros each, whatever. The EU only limits surcharges when roaming to other EU countries. Jeez, guys. Edit: I am not backing away from anything, I was rephrasing to sustain your strange cross-examination. You guys are being unecessarily aggressive and argumentative over a simple point. "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." "don't cross-examine." It's Sunday, guys. Do something positive with your time. Bye.
- vasco 2y agoSo you're backing away from your original stance of: "I don't think the EU says anything about how much texts should cost." Into a weaker form of "The EU only limits surcharges when roaming to other EU countries.". This was my only comment because your first position is factually incorrect, there are situations in which the EU defines how much texts can cost. edit: not sure where you see the aggressiveness
- Y_Y 2y agoThe funny part of this is that I avoid such charges by pointlessly using lots of data in home country to account for usage in other EU countries.
