Three UK EU Data Roaming Response
In light of the decision, Three has today issued this statement:
A spokesman for Three, said: “This move by EU policy makers is great news for consumers and will help end the gulf that exists between what people pay at home and what they pay when they are abroad in Europe.
“Consumers should be able to use their smartphones abroad without the fear of a huge bill when they return, and this was one of the reasons why last month Three, along with uSwitch, Which?, The Federation of Small Business, The Communications Management Agency, The Federation of Communication Services and INTUG, all signed an open letter calling on the UK Government to put pressure on the EU Commission to give consumers a break.
“Today’s decision should go some way to achieving that goal, especially around the cost of using data on your phone.”
