Vodafone Portugal drops EU roaming charges on Red plan
2016-03-07 15:23:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Vodafone Portugal has eliminated roaming fees in the EU for customers on its Red postpaid plan. The basic Red plan now starts at EUR 27.5 per month, up from EUR 26.90 previously, and comes with unlimited calls and texts and 200 MB of data in Portugal (400 MB for first 12 months). In the EU, customers have a 'fair use' of 15 days per year of free roaming from their standard monthly bundle, as well as a monthly cap on roaming of 200 minutes, 200 SMS and 200 MB. That compares to a domestic fair use of 5,000 minutes or SMS to Vodafone networks and 2,000 minutes and SMS to other networks each month. The offer is based on a 24-month contract.

Roaming charges: How will changes in mobile legislation affect business in Europe?
2015-11-13 13:46:32| Wireless - Topix.net
With mobile roaming charges on the way out across the European Union, what are the implications for businesses and business travellers? It has been a very long time coming, but right at the end of October 2015, in a vote overshadowed somewhat by the pressing issues surrounding the concurrent net neutrality regulations , the European Parliament finally waved through legislation that will put an end to mobile roaming charges in the 28 European Union member states on 15 June 2017. For many years mobile roaming charges have been a long-standing bugbear for European consumers jetting off to the Mediterranean for their holidays in the sun.
