O2 cuts the price of overseas roaming calls
O2 has dramatically cut the cost of making and receiving calls while roaming overseas. You can now call the UK from Spain on your UK mobile for 25 pence per minute. A “high roamer” service is to be introduced, where incoming calls will be free for a £5 per month fee. This is available on O2 sister network in Spain, Movistar. O2 is going to extend the cut price roaming to 35 international destinations, including the rest of the EU.
The EU has recently been critical of mobile firms across Europe for over charging customer who are roaming outside of their home country. O2 had previously had some of the highest roaming charges.
We hope this move by O2 will be followed the other mobile operators in order to cut the cost of using your mobile while abroad.
