Can we expect O2 Travel price to fall soon?

Hi,

The 1st July sees another drop in the maximum prices that mobile operators in the EU can charge for Roaming ( outgoing calls fall to €0.19 and data to €0.20 per mb ) - full details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_roaming_regulations

With this in mind can we expect to see a drop in the cost of O2 Travel soon?

Hopefully they will comply with the regulation guide, alternatively people can just opt out of O2 Travel.

Time will tell

As someone who is often in Spain...I can only hope the charges do drop...:smileywink:

Of course the bigger question and maybe the elephant in the room, is how are O2 and others going to recoup the revenue they will lose when roaming charges in EU are abolished?

Don't forget the free 0800 numbers either

Great find and very welcome news. I'm a little surprised that O2 haven't yet made a big announcement about this.
