Good news for everyone using a cell phone in Europe. The European Parliament has decided to reduce the fees for roaming calls, texts and data services this summer. Starting with July 1st all mobile carriers in the European Union will have to comply with the new regulations.

The new prices are as follows:

• €0.43 per call made abroad
• €0.19 per call received abroad
• €0.11 per SMS message sent abroad
• up to €1.00 for 1MB of data used abroad

Roaming costs will be further reduced in 2010 and 2011 as follows:

• calls made abroad – €0.39 in 2010 and €0.35 in 2011
• calls received abroad – €0.15 in 2010 and €0.11 in 2011
• 1 megabyte of data used abroad – €0.80 in 2010 and €0.50 in 2010

So what do you think folks? Ready to go to Europe?
