8 years of free EU roaming – we've come a long way:

→ 2000s: €0.50–€1/min calls
→ 2007: roaming caps
→ 2017: the end of roaming charges
→ 2022: the improved “Roam like at home” pack extended to 2032, bringing:

🌐 Fast 5G access across the EU
💰 Protection from unexpected charges
🆘 Better access to emergency services

Fair for operators. Free for you.
