New Web Site Helps Consumers to Find Best Mobile Roaming Rates in Europe

European mobile operators have launched a Web site that enables European consumers to find the best tariffs for making and receiving mobile phone calls when travelling abroad.

The site, which features up-to-date prices supplied directly by 75 operators from across the European Union, is a comprehensive and accurate source of roaming information for travellers.

Available in six languages, the site shows prices by individual operator for a two-minute peak-time call to a fixed-line in the traveller’s home country, prices for receiving a two minute peak-time call from home and the cost of sending and receiving text messages when travelling within Europe.

The new site was developed by GSM Europe (GSME), the European arm of the GSM Association, with input from the European Regulators Group (ERG), to ensure European consumers have an easy way of finding the best mobile roaming rate when travelling in Europe.

The new site includes prices available under packages specially tailored to roamers, highlighting the wide range of innovative tariff packages mobile operators are using to distinguish themselves from their competitors.
