Mobile phone roaming charges: Regulation 717/2007

Anyone using a cell phone in Europe will rapidly become aware of the poor quality of service and the extraordinarily high cost of making (or receiving) a call from one member State to another.

So, to "remedy" the situation, the European Parliament and the Council have adopted Regulation 717/2007 to regulate the cost of roaming calls, that is calls made from one member State to another. It sets up what is known as the "Eurotariff" which is a sort of maximum charge.

We'll see if this old fashioned piece of price regulation does any good. Or perhaps the quality of service will plummet still further.
