O2 launches O2 Travel
The mobile phone operator O2 has just launched a new service called O2 Travel. It gives customers going to Europe 25mb of data for £1.99 and they also get reduced call charges.
O2 have been quick off the mark because the EU have only just put roaming caps in place. Under the new deal contract and business customers will be charged 50p a call for calls made in Europe and minutes will be taken from their bundle.
Prepay customers do still get the 25mb of data for £1.99 but their calls will be charged at 29p a minute and 8p to receive a call.
O2 have said that they have put this together so that their customers aren’t worried about getting back from holiday to a massive unexpected bill.
Apparently 60% of people from the UK now use mobile data while abroad and the amount of data being used is doubling every year.
