The operator has lowered fees for outgoing calls to EUR0.12 per minute, while fees for incoming calls in roaming have been cut to EUR0.03 per minute. The fee to send text messages abroad will be EUR0.03, RCS & RDS said in a statement.
All tariffs are net of VAT.
Romania’s telecom market regulator ANCOM said last week local mobile operators must reduce roaming charges for calls to other EU member states starting July 1 to no more than EUR0.24/minute for outgoing calls and EUR0.07/minute for incoming calls.
The cost to send a text message abroad will not exceed EUR0.08 without VAT – while receiving a text message is free.
The new charges are required per Regulation (EC) No. 531/2012 of the European Parliament and Council on roaming on public mobile telephone networks within the Union.
Operators may set lower fees than the upper limits set by the EU.
