It’s about time this was addressed as us mobile users get ripped off if we travel overseas. From July 2012 European Union roaming prices are set to be capped thanks to a parliament vote.
After July 1st operators will only be able to charge 29 euro cents (24p) a minute to make a call, 8 cents (7p) a minute to receive a call, 9 cents (8p) to send a SMS message and 70 cents a megabyte (58p) for data usage.
The long term plan is for EU roaming prices to stay the same as domestic which would save many of us a small fortune. The EU also plans to allow consumers to pick a separate operator for roaming without changing SIM cards from 2014.
EU rapporteur and MEP Angelika Niebler said: “Parliament has succeeded in its call for cheaper roaming prices for consumers, and in particular for data roaming.
“In addition, from July 2014, consumers will be able to choose an operator other than their national operator for roaming services. The new rules will also help to open up the market to new entrants and so increase competition.”
Great news all round.

Gareth and Matt are all over the Samsung Galaxy SIII with some alternating views on the latest phone to hit the press. Also, following the launch of Samsung’s flagship device is a new baby Blackberry announcement that will go easier on the pocketbook than Samsung’s Behemoth.
Our brand new BlackBerry Curve 9320 didn’t come with a box so we will have to do an unboxing video another time. In the meantime you can see this great new ‘low cost’ Smartphone put through its paces where we give a tour of both the hardware and software.
Running BlackBerry 7.1 the Curve 9320 is a superb successor to the 8520/9300 that have sold so well here in the UK. Along with the new OS the device gets some other hardware upgrades from its predecessors including a bigger battery which will please many BlackBerry users.
The BlackBerry Curve 9320 is the perfect excuse for the UK youth to stay with Team BlackBerry. From only £129.95 sim free and as low as £10.50 per month on contract with Orange the 9320 could well be bargain of the year!
You can see the video along with phone specs below:
Available on pre-order, the 16GB version is free on £41, 24 month price plans including 900 minutes, unlimited texts and an introductory offer of a whopping 2GB of mobile data, as well as 2GB of BT Openzone access.
The 32GB version is exclusive to Vodafone UK for one month from launch and is free on £46, 24 month price plans with 1,200 minutes, unlimited texts, an introductory offer of 2GB of mobile data and 2GB of BT Openzone access.
Both are launched on Vodafone’s Data Test Drive, so you can fully explore all that your new Samsung GALAXY S III has to offer for the first three months, without worrying about going over your 2GB mobile data allowance.
Making the introductory offer even sweeter, Vodafone UK is offering 100 free tracks to download via Vodafone Music on selected price plans. For each of the first four months you can download 25 tracks of your choice.
The Samsung GALAXY S III will be available in Pebble Blue and Marble White.

The following text is serious but not nearly as serious as the high (I mean low) speed pursuit that took place at BlackBerry World 2012 between the QNX Porsche 911 and the Dodge Charger Police Enforcer. You must watch this video. It’s a classic!
In anticipation of the the unveiling of RIM’s new QNX-based BlackBerry 10 Operating System, there was a high intensity buzz at this year’s ‘Everything BlackBerry’ show in Orlando, where 5,000 developers, software and hardware vendors, and wireless carrier reps came together to see what the host company had to offer.
Speaking for the first time as CEO at the show, was Thorsten Heins, who told the audience at a packed news conference, that “We’re here to win. We’re not here to just be in the game.” Heins and many other BlackBerry keynote speakers focused attention on BlackBerry 10 – a QNX based operating system that is so much more than just a smartphone OS. BlackBerry 10 is a whole new mobile computing platform that not only drives the BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 tablet, but is also the OS for everything from medical devices to nuclear reactors; from commercial airliners to most of the cars found on North America’s roads.

With the BlackBerry Curve 9320 launching imminently I thought it may be a good idea to let you have all the carrier prices that have been sent to me in one convenient place. There are not massive differences but some offers are certainly a little more attractive. The other thing to remember if you are picking up the new Curve is to not just go with the cheapest deal but to check you have good network coverage at home/work or school.
I have been hands on with the new device today and I can honestly say it is a massive improvement over the 8520/9300 that have done so well here in the UK. There should be no reason why our teenagers should not stay Team BlackBerry.
The BlackBerrey Curve 9320 is a beauty!
T-Mobile UK will have the 9320 available free from £15.50 per month on a 24 month plan, or for £149.99 on pay as you go.
Carphone Warehouse will have the handset from free on £20.50 per month contract and SIM free from £129.95 in black.
Orange UK is pleased to announce that it will shortly be offering the BlackBerry 9320 free from £10.50 per month on a 24 month plan, or for £139.99 on pay as you go.
Three are charging a respectable £139.99 on PAYG. All in One 15 costs £15 and gives 30-day access to all-you-can-eat data along with 300 any-network minutes and 3,000 texts. Or All in One 25 costs £25 and offers 500 minutes, 3,000 texts and all-you-can-eat data for a 30-day period.
Vodafone are still to confirm prices at this stage I’m afraid but this post will be updated as soon as they let me know their plan of action.
