Brexit: How will the tariff of phone calls to the British change after leaving the European Union?

The British government advised those who intend to travel abroad to check the prices of calls there, because the commercial agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union does not guarantee additional money.

But the major companies in Britain said they did not intend to add an additional tariff for calls outside Britain.

The government has approved legislation that gives customers some guidelines:

*There is a higher limit of 45 pounds for costs that can be imposed on users to use the Internet within the union countries.

*The consumer must be informed when it reaches 80 percent and then 100 percent of the permissible internet use.

*Telecom companies love to take measures that prevent users from paying additional costs in the event of using their phones in Northern Ireland if the reference interferes with the signal of the Republic of Ireland.

What do telecommunications companies plan?

Of course, the fact that the telecommunications companies have the right to impose a new tariff for calls in the countries of the Union. It does not mean that they will do.

The problem is that in the absence of special laws in the European Union, it will be subject to bilateral agreements between telecommunications companies in Britain and the European Union.

Although they can sign such agreements, there is no guarantee that they can maintain this situation indefinitely.

There are three factors that mean that there is a possibility that telecommunications companies in Britain continue to make telecommunications in the countries of the Union include the tariff:

*Bilateral agreements between British companies and their counterparts in the countries of the Union.

* There is more than one telecommunications company in all countries of the Union, this means that there will be options for British companies.

*Some British companies are members of European communications groups.

The four main companies in the United Kingdom have refused to comment on the bilateral agreements that they concluded with other telecommunications companies in the countries of the Union, but they said that they do not intend to re -evaluate the wandering tariff..

Three of them said that it gives its customers the possibility of contacting without any additional cost in more than 70 countries in the United States, Australia and New Zealand.

Vodafone said it does not intend to re -impose roaming fees.

As for EE, she said that its customers can use their phones without any additional cost in the European Union countries and abroad, and this will not change yet the Brexit.

As for O2, she said that it is not planning now to change the laws of using phones in the European Union countries.
