15 June 2017 | Roaming charges are abolished in the EU. A process that started more than 10 years before, with the European Commission launching a website (2005) highlighting the issue. From some €12 for a 4min call when travelling abroad... to no extra charges. #EUHistory

One of the very many tangible results achieved by the EU 🇪🇺 for its citizens! #ThisistheEU

Hey, but the UK has 'taken back control'. So now our phone companies can impose roaming charges again! #BrexitBenefits
