Stay a step ahead of the EU mobile roaming cap

by 0044 in Mobile Roaming

A revolutionary range of pay-monthly mobile plans from 0044.co.uk means that you can now use your mobile phone at home and throughout Europe, without having to worry about expensive roaming charges.

The EU commission has recently succeeded in capping UK network mobile roaming charges for mobile phone users across Europe. However, the caps still mean that a UK user will continue to pay to receive all calls and will be charged around three times the price of a UK domestic call when abroad. Whilst the new pricing applies from 2007 it is unlikely to take full effect until summer 2008.

However, an alternative solution introduced by UK based www.0044.co.uk means that a UK mobile user can now have a mobile contract which offers free roaming throughout Europe, free inclusive airtime and texts for use in the UK and the ability to keep an existing UK network mobile number. 0044 ‘Freedom’ is the first of a new breed of mobile phone contracts and delivers great savings at home and abroad, whilst staying a step ahead of the EU roaming ruling.

“We’ve been helping consumers avoid excessive roaming charges for several years now, but the EU commission’s decision still leaves the consumer paying through the nose when they don’t deserve to. The new 0044 service means that consumers can effectively use their mobile across Europe in the same way as they do at home without any financial penalties”.
