Vodafone is the largest mobile telecommunications network company in the world. And now they introduced something GPRS users all over Europe have been waiting for: seamless roaming of GPRS connections across Europe.
"Vodafone is the first mobile operator to offer commercial GPRS roaming across Europe. Vodafone customers in 12 countries including Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK will be able to access their Vodafone services over GPRS in a growing number of destinations when travelling in Europe. Vodafone intends to progressively expand GPRS roaming to cover other networks, including all remaining European Vodafone operators and partner networks by the end of the year. Ease of use is the key to Vodafone’s GPRS roaming service. Vodafone customers travelling abroad access their GPRS services in exactly the same way as they do at home. There is no requirement for customers to input additional service access codes to use their services."
In the linked press release you can find the agreements that are already in place. There is no information available on the extra costs of GPRS roaming, next to the regular volume based billing.
