Cut-Off Limit for Roaming Data Transfers Starting July 1st

According to Romania’s telecom regulator ANCOM, starting July 1st, with the changes of European roaming regulations coming into force, the mobile operators will impose a cut-off limit for roaming services as of July 1 for clients who have not chosen a cut-off limit. "The default cut-off limit applied by operators will be of maximum EUR50 per month, net of VAT. Users may choose a different cut-off limit or may choose to have no limit at all," the regulator said.

 

 

Customers will receive a warning when they near the chosen limit and another warning when they hit the respective limit, allowing them to opt for either service cut-off or continuity. Customers who do not make a choice by 1 July 2010 will have the cut-off limit set at €50 by default as from that date.

 

 

Starting July 1^st, the maximum charge for outgoing roaming calls will be lowered to EUR0.39/minute from EUR0.43/minute, while the maximum charge for incoming roaming calls will be lowered to EUR0.15/minute from EUR0.19/minute for those customers who have chosen Eurotarif.
