Roaming in the European Union event_available 8.2.2024

Many people wonder whether it is worth using your mobile Internet and telephone while roaming. So let's take a closer look.

EU rules on roaming at domestic prices mean that when you use your mobile phone when traveling from your own country to any EU country, you don't have to pay any additional roaming charges. These rules apply when you call abroad (to mobile and landline numbers), send text messages (SMS) and use data services.

When crossing the border within the EU, you will receive a text message from your mobile operator informing you that you are roaming, and reminiscent of fair use principles.

Good News !

If you spend more time in your country than abroad, or if you use your mobile phone more often in your own country than abroad, you can roam freely at domestic prices, anywhere in the EU.

However, it is worth remembering that there are cases when, after exceeding a sufficiently high limit of data sent in roaming at the domestic price, you will have to pay extra for data roaming.

When traveling by ship or plane in the EU, you can roam at domestic prices as long as you are connected to a land-based (land based relay) mobile network. If mobile services are provided via satellite systems, roaming at domestic prices does not apply and you will be charged for unregulated roaming services.

REMEMBER!

Roaming outside the European Union.

EU rules on roaming at domestic prices do not apply when you call or send text messages from your own country to another EU or non-EU country
