Yordan, 01 February 2017

Early Wednesday morning the European Union reached historic deal. Starting June 15 2017, all mobile phone users from the 28 EU members will not pay roaming charges when traveling to fellow EU country.

Negotiations ended right after midnight with a pact between the European Parliament, European Council and European Comission representatives.

Miapetra Kumpula-Natri, a Finnish member of the Socialists & Democrats EU parliament group, said:

People all over the EU have waited for us to drop roaming charges in June 2017. Now all the negotiations are ready and we can deliver what was promised. Like consumer organizations all over Europe, we, too, see this as a great victory for the European consumers.

This was a long-expected liberating deal that was one of the EU’s big goals for the last several years.
