A roaming agreement – that sounds great! Does this mean we will enjoy ‘roam like at home’ when we travel from Eastern partner countries, as they do in the European Union?

EU citizens travelling to other EU countries ‘roam like at home’, meaning they don’t have to pay any additional charges to use their mobile phone. Under a regional roaming agreement facilitated by EU4Digital this would not be the same for EaP citizens; however, such an agreement would ensure a substantial lowering of applicable roaming prices among the five Eastern partner countries. This would allow mobile communications networks’ roaming customers to enjoy more affordable services while roaming in the Eastern partner countries. Based on the latest findings of the EU4Digital roaming study (2019), an average price decrease of over 80% is expected.
