3UK slashes European phone calls to 25p and 10p

As we reported last night, 3UK is shocking the market with phenomenally good European roaming pricing, starting from 30th August 2007.

More from the news release:

3 customers are set to make serious savings on international roaming rates as the network announces its new EU rates. Following the recent EU announcement capping mobile roaming prices in Europe from 30th August, 3 is slashing prices below what the new EU law requires.

From 30th August, 3 customers travelling to EU countries will pay just 25p per min to make a call to any standard UK landline or mobile and just 10p per min to receive a call wherever they are in the EU. This compares with the capped EU Eurotariff of 38p per min to make a call and 19p per min to receive a call*.

3’s new pricing structure, which is 34% cheaper to make calls and 47% cheaper than the EU Eurotariff to receive them, will apply to all customers, whether they’re on Pre-Pay or Contract deals. Charges for SMS messages will be fixed at 25p per text.

So be sure to take your 3UK handset on holiday!
