Since 2013, Free Mobile is beginning to integrate roaming country as a package to 19.99 euros, with support calls and surf the Internet 35 days per year. At that time, the troublemaker was hitting hard, roaming charges are still high despite the battering of the European Commission. Indeed, competition in no hurry to reduce this income, estimated at 4 billion euros a year.
Today, after adding a weekly country to its offer, Free Mobile accelerates announcing that all EU countries, namely 27 states (without
count of France) are now included in the package. By extending its “Destination Pass” to all EU countries
European, Free has once again demonstrated its ability to release
uses and to enhance its offering by maintaining the same price “, triumph
the group.
Other
New: no seniority condition is now required and
today applies to both existing and new subscribers.
Previously, this option was only available to subscribers
having at least 60 days of seniority. By cons, roaming applies
still 35 days per year and destination. Beyond 35 days, the
voice communications, SMS, MMS and Internet are billed at the rates in
force. In addition to the countries of the European Union, Free Mobile offers roaming in
Israel, the Caribbean and
French Guiana, and Canada.
The operator he offers a new weapon of mass destruction against its competitors? If Free was a pioneer, his offensive today less impact than in the past. Indeed, the French operators have more or less line up, aware that roaming became a criterion of differentiation and therefore choice for many mobile users.
The three that are historic Orange, Numericable- SFR and Bouygues Telecom have improved for some time support roaming. Yesterday reserved for the most expensive package, including dedicated to pros, envelopes and data calls from abroad are more generous and more are integrated packages, cheaper.
For example, Bouygues Telecom replied almost shot for shot in January. If MMS is not included and if the limit of 35 days per year is the same, roaming was already authorized for all countries in Europe and overseas. This envelope is available from the package 10GB 39.99 euros per month. At SFR, and data calls from Europe and overseas are included from the package to 33.99 euros (15 days per year). In short, if Free Mobile offers a much cheaper entry ticket, the flat-rate roaming in the competition made its hole and goes down well on the range.
The offensive Free Mobile will also be undervalued by the initiatives of the European Commission. Certainly, the operator takes two years ahead of the total end of the roaming which has been decided and set at 15 June 2015. But the difference with the transitional tariff ceilings becomes less acute. On April 30, the maximum surcharge will indeed 0.05 per call minute and 2
cents for SMS. What to avoid the shock of his traditional post-holiday mobile bill …
Recall that currently calls from the EU countries are charged 19 cents
minute, receiving a call is 5
cents per minute (-28.5%), sending an SMS costs 6 cents. The Mo
downloaded is charged up to 20 cents.
