While it is nice the EU is regulating the mobile phone market like this, it sometimes creates funny situations. In many countries it's cheaper to send an SMS being abroad. Right now the regulated cap for an SMS sent in roaming is at €0.09 and will be €0.06 in 2014, but sending texts from your country often costs €0.15 :)
- m_gloeckl 13y agoYes, I noticed that, when I was visiting Crete a week ago. Back home in Germany a text message costs me 0.14€, during vacation I was paying 0.09€. Regulations create funny pricing structures sometimes. :)
- gaius 13y agoIt's not unusual to find while roaming that MMS is cheaper than SMS. As in it would be cheaper for me to write out my message by hand, take a photo of it and sent that, than just to send a text message.
- sasoon 13y agoYeah, if I want to call UK number from my home network it will cost me 0.85€, and if I call the same number while roaming, it will cost me 0.30€ :-)
