23 May 2007  International calls rise following drop in roaming charges
The number of calls home made by Britons abroad has risen dramatically since the reduction of international roaming charges on the 3 mobile phone network earlier this year, it has been reported.

Since the launch of its 3 Like Home deal in January, 3 reports that over twice as many calls have been made from international countries, with customers able to use their existing minutes and bundles when on holiday.

The average number of calls per holidaymaker has risen by 60 per cent, with the average call length rising by 40 per cent.

John Penberthy-Smith, marketing director at 3, said: "We believe that using your phone when you are abroad should be like using it when you're at home."

He added that the introduction of the 3 Like Home offer had made a difference to the market for international calls.

Earlier this month, the European Parliament voted to cap roaming charges within the EU, which could benefit regular travellers, including those with annual travel insurance.
