EU Publishes Revised Fair Use Policy for FREE Mobile Roaming

The European Commission has today proposed a revised Fair Use Policy (FUP) for their plan to end EU mobile roaming charges from 15th June 2017 (i.e. any call, text or data allowances will come from your domestic plan), which replaces the one that was withdrawn almost as soon as it was announced.

The original plan was to abolish all of the roaming related surcharges from next year as planned, save for a Fair Use Policy exception to prevent abuse. Under the Fair Use rule, roaming charges would only be completely abolished for “at least 90 days per year” (operators could be more flexible if they wanted) or no more than 30 days of roaming use in a row.
