So, if you travel Europe with your T-mobile data card you’re quids in.

T-mobile currently charge £7.50 per Mb of data used but this will drop to £1.50 as of 1st  July.  This means that T-mobile will become the cheapest operator in when it comes to surfing using your data card in Europe. That accolade currently resides with 3 and Orange, charging £3 per Mb.

In addition to this announcement, T-mobile has stated that they will also be dropping the cost of texting from abroad; down from 40p to 25p per text.

The move comes in time for a 1st July deadline set by the European Commission. In February, Information society and media commissioner Viviane Reding told operators to make their data-roaming rates more reasonable by the start of July - or else the Commission would consider proposing strict new regulations on these charges.
