No more BILL SHOCKS!!!

Internet & Roaming: a dangerous combination !!!

Not any more! because from 1 March 2010 the Commission has adopted the law that forces the European mobile phone operators to offer their customers a cut-off limit facility to protect them from 'bill shocks' for surfing the Internet with their mobile phones and laptops while travelling in other EU countries.

By default, every one of us will receive a warning when the data roaming usage exceeds in value 50 Euro!

You can read more here. Also, you can change this minimum limit of 50 euro ;)

Safe roaming browsing from now on !!!

PS: this law was justified by the famous case of the UK student that received a 9.000 Euro invoice for data roaming while studying abroad...
