3 to cut the cost of international roaming

Following the recent cap on roaming prices announced by the EU, Three will be introducing new rates for their customers from 30th August.

3 customers travelling to EU countries will pay just 25p per minute to make a call to any standard UK landline or mobile, and just 10p per minute to receive a call wherever they are in the EU. The Three roaming costs offer a considerable saving over the capped EU Tariff of 38p per minute to make a call and 19p per minute to receive a call. Costs for SMS remain fixed at 25p per text.

The price cuts do not affect customers who currently use 3Like Home. 3Like Home abolished roaming charges for 3 customers when they visit a country with a sister network. Countries where 3 customers can use 3Like Home are currently Italy, Ireland, Austria, Hong Kong, Australia, Sweden and Denmark.
