2. Global Roaming Tariff Tracker
Roaming prices have confronted criticism in recent years and are undergoing significant changes at
this present time. The European Commission has imposed regulation to the pricing of voice
roaming charges and it saw the introduction of capped wholesale and retail voice prices for calls
made within the EU on 30th August 2007, followed by capped SMS prices in July 2009 and
wholesale data prices also in 2009. with further prices changes each year thereafter including SMS.
Roaming especially in the consumer market is perceived complex and expensive, despite operators
having moved to attractive on-net pricing and easier-to-understand pricing structures, roaming
prices remain difficult to track and will be a challenge to keep up with the changes.
Findings reveal that offerings have increased through the launch of bundles and special schemes
for both voice and data services. Both voice and data calls price changes have been mainly
downward with some oeprators increasing rates to non-European destinations. Operators continue
to seek to introduce innovative offers to help for the compensation of the potential loss in revenue
from the imposed regulation
