LUXEMBOURG (AP) - EU governments agreed to cut the cost of using mobile phones abroad Thursday, paving the way for a cap on roaming fees later this summer.
The price of a mobile phone call from abroad may drop by as much as 70 percent, according to the EU's executive Commission. Europeans will have better information on hidden charges they face when they make calls from a country other than their own within the 27-nation bloc after the law takes effect at the end of June.
Telecom companies will have one month after that to offer customers a new pricing structure with considerably cheaper roaming fees.
