The last gasps of roaming in Europe – The Counter

From Saturday April 3, the rates for calls, messages and data that are made from the mobile phone to a foreign country recorded a significant drop in all the nations of the European Union.

According to Spanish newspaper Confidential , the first stage of the scheduled disappearance roaming will start the weekend with considerable reductions. Thus, you call within the countries of the European Union.

Thus, if a Spanish want to call from France, Italy or Germany will pay a slightly higher price than if you were in your country but will apply a much more reasonable rate than you would pay so far.

In a first step, a surcharge on the fee that each customer pays by contract to his company made.

currently, without considering the deals which welcome those seeking a more economical to go to another country rate, outgoing calls had a cost of about 23 cents per minute, six cents texting, 20 cents each mega and up to 17 cents per minute for calls received.

starting Saturday, the rates will be the same as paid in Spain although the aforementioned surcharge inexpensive. Thus, outgoing calls will have an increase of 0.05 euros per minute, incoming cost 0.01 per minute, SMS will have an added 0.02 euros while each mega data that is consumed will come with a surcharge of 0 05 euros.

This reduction is prior to the end of ‘roaming’ which is scheduled for 15 June 2017. from that date step, operators may not apply surcharges for calls made from other countries of the European Union, although the companies, the European Commission and Parliament still have to sit down and negotiate what the limits are for the purpose of roaming to avoid abuses or that some customers can take advantage of rates in other countries .

Little is known yet about what will be the measures to be applied, although it is likely that some usage limits are established, either in number of minutes, messages or downloaded megs or days of use per year. This latter practice can be a way to curb customers who want to take advantage of cheaper rates they can find in other countries.

On December 15 is the deadline to have all parties to agree in the rules governing the order of roaming in the European Union. It will later this 2016 when you know what the limits governing calls, messages and Internet consumption from other eurozone countries will be.

In Latin America the system still does not give lights disappear, although have already been some voices raised lower it, both to allow competition from smaller operators to ensure the existence of a business that only benefits from the millionaire accounts that can afford to pay for the wealthy, or left on bench rotates the unwary who forget to leave their countries disable data traffic
