EU promises great descents from this Saturday and will be even greater in 2017.
the National Communications Authority (Anacom) says that incoming calls from this Saturday, April 30, roaming in a European Union country, will have prices 77% lower, from the current 5 cents per minute to 1 14 cents per minute (excluding VAT).
All because of a Community regulation the end of 2015 which provides, on behalf of the single European market, with fewer barriers to competition, the price of calls made roaming will be charged in the consumer’s country of origin (price of calls terminating in other networks).
However, between 30 April 2016 and June 2017 these values may have increased a surcharge of five cents per minute as data traffic (domestic price + five cents per megabyte), which leads to Anacom to advise the Portuguese to report to the tariff of each telephone company.
in SMS sent the price will also be charged in the domestic market, plus a surcharge of two cents.
After 15 June 2017 the rules back to change and then yes will not be charged any additional fee, plus the domestic price, the customer in any EU Member State from making or receiving roaming calls, send SMS or use data services.
Although these prices equal to those paid when using the phone in the country itself, the European regulation allows operators to apply after 2017 the so-called “fair use policy” and cover “a small fee” that can not exceed the cost that mobile operators pay for the use of networks of other countries EU.
These limits of “fair use” will be defined only by the European Commission in December 2016 and only in exceptional situations communications companies may charge a different price from the domestic price.
