Press Release: Commissioner Reding welcomes EU-wide investigation on cost of using a mobile phone abroad

Mobile telephone network operators across the EU were sent a questionnaire on 9 December 2004 as part of an investigation into wholesale prices for 'international roaming', which result in high charges for people who use their mobile phones in other Member States. This initiative, supported by the European Commission, was announced by the European Regulators Group (ERG), which brings together national regulatory authorities responsible for electronic communication markets.
