15 June 2017 | Roaming charges are abolished in the EU.

A process that started more than 10 years before, with the European Commission launching a website (2005) with the prizes & issues.

From some €12 for a 4min call when travelling abroad...to no extra charges.

8 years of free EU roaming – we've come a long way:

2000s: €0.50-€1/min calls
2007: roaming caps
2017: end of charges
2022: "Roam like at home" extended to 2032

Fair for operators. Free for you.
An infographic titled 'Roam Like at Home. Policy Timeline' showing key milestones in EU roaming policy. The timeline begins with '> €0.50/min calls', followed by '2007 Roaming caps' with a lock and signal icon, '2017 Free EU roaming' with a mobile phone icon, '2022 Improved & extended “Roam like at home”' with a house and signal icon, and ends with '2032 Policy revision' with a communication tower icon. The European Union flag appears in the bottom right corner.
