European Parliament: Capping Mobile Phone Charges

I have been commuting into work over Easter, and found out the following from The Metro one morning:

People on holiday or travelling in Europe will now be able to send texts home for 9p- enjoying a 60% cut in the cost of texting.

This came after a decision made by MEPs to cap the cost of roaming texts from July.

The rules also hold companies accountable in internet usage about (mandating them to be clearer about the costs) and also hold them responsible for letting customers know once they have spent 50 euros.

Caroline Flint, Europe Minister said "This is a good example of how the EU can bring real benefits to the British people"

Who said Europe was boring!!!
