| Roaming charges from Australia - Public inquiry |
| Posted Mon 30 June 2008 @ 5:25 a.m. by Ernie |
Years of concerted lobbying from our sister group ATUG has paid off. The Australian government has announced a public inquiry into international roaming prices.
TUANZ members with experience of either the charges for roaming from NZ to Australia, or international roaming prices in general, are invited to communicate your views to the respective user associations - Rosemary Sinclair at ATUG and/or Ernie Newman at TUANZ.
User associations world wide, through our international body INTUG, have long expressed concern and anger about excessive pricing for roaming by mobile operators. In New Zealand it has been less of an issue because of the other more pressing priorities we have had on the local scene. But surely it ought to be possible to use a cell phone and data card for a couple of weeks anywhere in the world without risking a bill for thousands of dollars?
Here are Vodafone's and Telecom's international roaming charges from NZ. Do you think they are fiar and reasonable? Do you understand them?
Lets hear your views and experience - direct, or via the comments below. |
