Fans warned of roaming charges in Ukraine

Football fans heading to Euro 2012 are being warned about excessive mobile phone bills because Ukraine is outside an EU-wide cap on charges.

A study in the UK, based on average tariffs, has found consumers could face a total daily phone bill of around €330 for calls, texts and data.

They are advising fans to curb their mobile usage, buy a local SIM and use free Wi-Fi.
