When you take your mobile phone abroad, your phone ‘roams’ onto a local mobile network in that country. This allows you to continue using your mobile almost as you would in the UK, but there are some major pitfalls to be aware of.

It's a combination of factors: lack of regulation; the greed of network operators (both here and abroad); and the absence of clear information made openly available to the public. Whilst prices in the UK for local, national and international calls have dropped significantly over the past few years, roaming rates remain excessively high. The European Commission investigated the entire UK mobile sector in 2001 and this resulted in improved value in the UK (for example, the introduction of cross-network minutes for pay monthly users), but failed to tackle the issue of outrageous roaming charges…a billion pound industry in itself. More investigations have been announced, but nothing concrete has been achieved.

Without regulation and better dissemination of accurate information to consumers it seems that roaming charges are here to stay.

uk2abroad provides you with a complete solution to avoid roaming charges wherever your business or leisure travel takes you.
