Network Operators Engaging To Reduce Call Charge: Mobile users moving to the continent have a pleasing news to hear that the UK's major networks will not reverse the cap on roaming charges this summer. O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone were working together to try and circumvent the three year old legislation which placed a limit. Network operators are engaging into a discussion as to what can be reasonably charged for calls when users are in a foreign country using another carrier's network.  To Protect Consumers Against Excessive Prices: Legislation was put in place to protect consumers against excessive prices according to the European Court judges. The court judgement stated that authorities in Brussels had been correct when they decided to impose the limit in 2007. It has also been made clear that additional reductions in roaming costs will be forced into effect from July. Huge profits were being made by network operators with alleged margins of some 200 per cent for outgoing and 400 per cent for inbound calls respectively before new rules were imposed. MEP Arlene McCarthy said, "It is now time for the operators to show they have learned their lesson and will charge fair, competitive prices. They should give consumers a fair deal, not try to wreck laws we had to introduce to protect our constituents." Mobile users making a call from a European country, they will no longer pay a maximum of 38 pence per minute, as this has been dropped to 32p this summer. In addition, price of answering calls is also being lowered, from 18p down to 12.5p every minute. Make Cheap International Calls: Consumers may want to consider making cheap international calls with mobile phones or landlines. As making international calls is also a hassle free process. Simply add the access number and the country code and make desired calls at your convenient time. |
