The Commission therefore proposed on 23 September 2008:
* To bring down the prices for text messages sent while travelling in another EU country.
* To ensure that citizens are kept adequately informed of the charges that apply for data roaming services.

[...]

What kind of changes are being proposed?

Euro-SMS Tariff introduced: from 1 July 2009 sending an SMS from abroad would cost no more than 11 cents (excluding VAT). Receiving an SMS in another EU country will remain free of charge.

Improved transparency: customers travelling to another Member State should receive an automated message of the charges that apply for data roaming services. On 1 July 2010, operators must provide customers with the opportunity to determine in advance how much they want to spend before the service is "cut-off".

Wholesale caps for data roaming: the Commission also proposed a €1 per megabyte safeguard limit for wholesale data roaming fees, to make them more predictable for operators, stimulate competition and enable even more transparent retail prices.

Further reductions on Eurotariff for voice calls: the prices for making calls would decrease from 43 cents on 1 July 2009, to 40 cents, 37 cents and 34 cents for each of the following years. The price for receiving a call would decrease from 19 cents on 1 July 2009 to 16 cents, 13 cents and 10 cents for each of the following years. Consumers would also benefit from per-second billing after 30 seconds for calls made, and per-second billing throughout for calls received to ensure that consumers do not face any ‘hidden costs’ when they are roaming. This is expected to increase consumers savings by over 20%.
