Mobile Industry Review: T-Mobile data roaming cut by 80%

  • planetf1 · 1 year ago
    The problem is that this is still out of whack with the new UK offerings - ie I pay £5 pcm for up to 1Gb data (3UK). At those prices it would cost £1500 abroad. Of course most of the time I use a fraction of my allowance (some say 2Gb is the "chase you up" point), but the point is it's fair use -- so at no time am I exposed to a massive bill.

    I would hope the mobile operators can introduce at least capped/fair use abroad offerings. Say NN Mb/week for 2 weeks etc.

    Right now I've taken advantage of 3's option to TURN OFF data roaming. Yes, sad.. but I just don't trust myself (or all my data intensive apps!)

    Networks are already counteracting this in the UK with vodafone minimum call rate now 15p and 02 to go to 20p minimum call charge. So in the end like always the customer lose loses.
