European Commission Tries to Reduce Cell Phone Costs

By

The European Commission has set up a website to help people cut the high cost of using mobile phones abroad. If you are traveling around in Europe should be in your favorites. I’m shocked how the charges change so much depending on which country you are from.

The Commission says the site reveals the tariffs of all mobile operators in the European Union’s 25 member states. The Commission says the cost of using a mobile abroad “is hard to believe” and hopes that greater transparency will lead to lower charges. In July, according to the Commission, consumers faced charges ranging from 0.58 euro cents to over 5 euros per minute. According to the website, British tourists in Italy are charged 50% more for mobile calls made and received there than French tourists.
