Meteor axes roaming fees for EU travel

MOBILE phone operator Meteor has abolished roaming charges for its customers travelling in the European Union.

From yesterday, Meteor customers will now pay the same for calls and texts while abroad in the EU, along with other destinations including Norway and Iceland, as they do here.

The firm claims its customers will now have a saving of up to 47% versus EU regulated rates and more than 60% over rivals Vodafone and O2.
