8 years of free EU roaming – we've come a long way:
→ 2000s: €0.50–€1/min calls
→ 2007: roaming caps
→ 2017: the end of roaming charges
→ 2022: the improved “Roam like at home” pack extended to 2032, bringing:
🌐 Fast 5G access across the EU
💰 Protection from unexpected charges
🆘 Better access to emergency services
Fair for operators. Free for you.
Those roaming regulations are great and I love them! I was in France when SMS roaming regulations came into force. Had to pay 39ct per text when I arrived. When I left, it was down to ~9 cents.
Buuut I still have a question:
When will there be compulsory #IPv6 support in data roaming? There are several networks that turn off #IPv6 while roaming. Some even lack #IPv6 entirely.
My mail server is #IPv6only which means that I don't have access to my e-mails while roaming!
