AT last, action has been taken by the European Parliament and the European Commission on tackling mobile roaming charges that have been affecting many consumers within the UK for many years, say Firstnumber.

At the end of March, the European Commission and the European Parliament ‘paved the way for the adoption of the draft regulation on roaming on public mobile communications networks within the EU’.

Cheap international calls provider Firstnumber wholeheartedly support the drive and ambition of the EU to eradicate the current divide between domestic and foreign mobile charges.
