Euro MP welcomes decision to remove roaming charges for phone users abroad
AN ESSEX Euro MP has welcomed reforms which will see roaming charges for mobile phone users scrapped across the continent in 2017.
The European Parliament has approved new rules which mean UK mobile users will pay the same fees they pay at home while they are travelling within the EU.
Vicky Ford, Tory MEP for the East of England, said: "Ending mobile roaming fees from 2017 will be welcomed by millions of people, as they will be able to use their apps, make calls and send a text just as if they were at home.”
