mobile network operators...and the roaming

[jfez]

Telecom service providers....who really has any good relationship with theirs....i'm talking roaming charges here. I like the idea costumer loosing the 'fear' of using their device abroad. I think this fear has started to become an issue with business organisations, as CFO's look at ways to cut costs, i know mine has. This will certainly not benefit any mobile network operator. let usage equals less revenue...you do the maths. So what is vodafone going on about...

Well the EU say they want roaming to cost the customer no more than the cost of its provision for the telecoms company. Not much profit incentive there.

I actually use Vodafone as my main mobile provider. I've a number of 3G enabled devices and make use of the Vodafone Passport service. It costs £2 a day for 25MB of data. That's usually enough to keep my emails connected with a little bit of Google Maps if necessary.

It's the calls that really sting though - 75p each(!) plus the normal network rate.
