From a call with a range of a few city blocks to a seamless Digital Single Market.📱

While on this day in 1973, M. Cooper made history by initiating the first cell call, Europe’s GSM standard marked the global revolution that digitised mobile tech.

Since 2017, the EU’s ‘Roam Like at Home’ has transformed international connectivity:

🔸€0 extra for data, calls, texts
🔸Seamless 5G
🔸No unexpected charges on boats
🔸As of 2026, includes Ukraine and Moldova

Free for you. Fair for operators.

It is disappointing that the UK has been left out of ‘Roam Like At Home’ since leaving the EU. 🙁
Given that EEA members, Ukraine, and Moldova are already in, and the Western Balkans are set to join, the UK should be part of the scheme too to ensure seamless travel connectivity. 🇬🇧📶🇪🇺

@CLondoner92 @EUCommission @zymurgic My annual contribution to the EU was less than the roaming charges I pay on a holiday to the EU.
