If you use your cell phone for international calls, you have to pay roaming fees. The EU constituted a maximum for roaming charges. Since July 2010 you have to pay roaming charges of about 39 Cents for outgoing calls and 15 Cents for incoming calls in EU countries. Outside of the EU, there are no regulations for roaming fees – which often results in severe expenses for international phone calls. However, you can avoid roaming fees by using a local telephone combined with a service for cheap international phone calls via callthrough or callback.
