Six more European countries could soon get domestic-rate mobile roaming
Published
Soon it may be possible to use a mobile phone in more European countries as if we were at home. According to an hvg.hu article, domestic-rate mobile use could be introduced in Serbia, Kosovo and Montenegro, as well as in three other European countries.
Domestic-rate mobile use means that subscribers pay the same rates on a foreign network as they do in Hungary. This could be advantageous for those who travel or holiday frequently in these countries, because they would not need to buy separate, expensive roaming packages. This rule has been in force within the European Union for a long time, so the countries mentioned would be the next steps.
However, the article does not detail exactly when and under what conditions the service could actually become available. The word "soon" suggests that the change has not yet taken place and that further negotiations may be needed. Whether the plans will actually be realised will depend on the decisions of the countries concerned and the service providers.
Travellers should therefore keep an eye on official information from their own mobile operator. Until the change takes effect, making calls and using the internet abroad may still incur additional costs.
