GO announces reduced roaming rates

GO said today that it had reduced its international roaming rates in line with EU directives.

Voice call rates of €0.51 (inclusive of VAT) apply whilst roaming in any EU country and calling any EU destination. The SMS rate has decreased to €0.13 (inclusive of VAT) whilst roaming in any EU country.

Data/ internet roaming rates have been reduced and GO said it now offers the lowest data roaming rates via several of its roaming network providers in the EU.

Data roaming in any EU country for GO contract (post-paid/ Pay Monthly) mobile customers costs €5 per MB, charged with 1 KB increments. However, GO offers a reduced rate of €2.50, charged with 1 KB increments, meaning that a GO roaming customer pays only €0.0024 for every KB consumed. This rate applies when roaming on the following networks: Austria (T-Mobile), Belgium (Mobistar), Czech Republic (Telefonica O2), Finland (Sonera), France (Orange), Germany (T-Mobile), Ireland (O2), Italy (TIM), Latvia (LMT), Netherlands (T-Mobile), Slovakia (T-Mobile), Spain (Telefonica Movistar), Sweden (TeliaSonera) and UK (T-Mobile). All set up charges have been removed and all charges are charged on a per KB basis, and therefore customers just pay for what they use.

GO Pay As You GO mobile customers using data roaming in the EU countries are charged the standard rate of €8 per MB, charged with 64 KB increments.

GO's roaming service is available for both Pay As You GO and contract (post-paid) customers.
