For those who may be a bit scared of the costs involved when using their phones abroad.

capping the data rate would be a welcome change.. at £3 - £6 per meg at the moment I tend to switch my phone off or set to airplane mode while abroad

Perhaps someone roaming at the moment has received an official text from O2 stating the new charges ?

Surely these are the new rates:

W. Europe

calling to the UK 35p within country 35p calling outside of zone 172p reciving a call 18p sending a text 11p sending a MMS 25p data £2.94 per, its jusrt that i noted the price of a text was 25p last night, I dont see any major changes other than text price and price to recive calls, other than that its a rip off still.

Lets face it if O2 had cut their prices they would of bee seling them from a great height the fact that no infomation about the great roaming cuts has been made tends to make me think there is none. Eveny the guys in the South of Ireland on talk202 forum the o2 offical fourm have been asking the emods on the fourm for a answer with dam all being said.

I got a text earlier today saying there were new roaming charges. Texts are indeed 11p to send but the main site has been down for most of the day but you can call 2266 free for information covering all countries,

Interesting, I'm roaming at the moment and have My Europe Extra. I've had no texts from O2.

The My Europe Extra prices were already within EU guidelines, I wonder if they've lowered the My Europe Extra prices further, or if I'm not just paying the same amount for the bolt on for less of a discount.

Yeap, My Europe Extra always used to be 25p/min for outgoing calls and free incoming calls for £10/month.

As previously mentioned, O2's rates are already within the new guidelines, except perhaps the text cost. This was and is still taken out of inclusive allowances at a rate of 4 to 1, the only change now is that texts will cost 11p after you've finished your allowance (it used to be something like 25p if I remember correctly).

So basically anyone on MyEuropeExtra is now paying the same amount per month but getting less of a discount (in effect). Fun times.

Interesting... according to my tariff, it is cheaper to send a text when I am roaming in Europe (11p / text) than when I am at home in the UK (11.7p / text).

A bit silly. And hardly unexpected, knowing O2.

whats bobbins is the con about data roaming -

so its still £3 per mb. the legislation says that each network cant charge more than $1 for each mb but thats wholesale - basically o2 can charge me what they like as long as then dont pay more that $1 for me to use that network!

what a jib

Sorry I think this is wrong under the new roaming rates calls are 35p but on my europe they are 25p therefore a saving of 10p, to get incuming calls under the new roaming they are 18p, under my europe they are free, so I read this as you can still save if you pay the £10 a month, but again it would depend on how many calls you make etc.

I do agree with the data roaming its still a rip of and I expected 02 to of done better in this, three now £1.25 a MB, Vodafone 25Mb for £5 per 24 hr period event thats better than the o2 charge of £2.94 per MB
