The concept of roaming, which defines you to switch to the networks of local operators with which your own line has a contract abroad, can issue a hefty bill to the user at the end of the trip, especially since it requires a very high price.
Extended free roaming in Europe
In order to reduce fragmentation and increase investments, the European Union approved the regulation on the abolition of roaming fees together with 28 member states at that time in 2017.
According to the regulation, users traveling within the European Union would be able to continue to use the speech, messaging and data packages of the operator they use without any additional restrictions or costs.
In line with the new decision, the free roaming right was extended until 2032. In addition, it was decided that the services should be focused on quality. In other words, while a citizen of a country receives 5G service, he will also receive 5G service in the country he goes to. Operators need to inform users about service quality. In addition, users will be informed about emergency numbers.
Operators are involved in the control mechanism of the system. Usage statistics of users are kept under control in order to prevent potential malicious use. For example, if the user buys a cheaper tariff in the country they are visiting and puts them under the scope of roaming in their own country, a fee is applied.
