From 15 June the roaming charges (roaming), that is to say, the extra-billing of calls and internet access abroad will be removed in the European Union.
Here's a good news ! Calls, SMS and internet access will be counted in the same way for all european citizens wherever he goes on the Old Continent, as if he was at home.
After the free movement of persons and the single currency, there is finally a space european telecom. A change of the first order for the individuals as for the professionals, so that if a spaniard went to the netherlands it will have all its calls will be discounted from its package and Spanish will soon be no roaming charges (roaming charges),
Olé !
Each member country has its own operators. When we travel and one uses his phone with the SIM card from the country of origin, the operator of the country of origin pays the operator a "host" for the use of its network. Where these roaming charges, which are often exorbitant.
As of June 15, we will pay the same price wherever you go in the EU. The question now is how operators will react to this ? Will they align ? Will there be a price increase to compensate for this manna that was roaming ? Or will they do it as Free and use it as a marketing ploy, and runs the whole world ?
However, to prevent competition between operators from different countries (for the moment), the end of roaming fees applies only for one-off journeys, it is therefore impossible for a French person to take a package to another country. Operators may ask their clients for proof that they live in such a place and they move to another temporarily.
A provision, rather thin, which will not prevent to make the competition according to me, but let's not spoil our pleasure. It was a long time that Brussels had not made a law likely to be popular !
