Roaming up North

    Hi there

    Am just wondering, am I imagining things or was there a change in how mobile operators charged you so that they were not permitted to charge you roaming rates while up north, or is it their own choice to do it?

    For some reason I thought roaming rates had been abolished up north?!:confused:

    I'm with Meteor. I'll check with them, but I honestly thought all operators had gone non-roaming..
    and yes they are robbing ba$tards! To call 11811 for 30 seconds they charge you over a €...

    there are roaming charges on ever network except 3, there allways has been... I think your mixing it up with the cap the EU brought in, there is a cap on roaming chages but they still exist...

    on meteor it's 20c flat rate to irish and uk phones but 20c to send a text instead of 12. And it's free to receive calls

    so it's actually cheaper to make a call in the north than here :D

    edit:there is a 29c connection fee though

    and of course you can use cabbage mobile to get texts for 2c up there
