Althaus added: "Mobile charges quoted in the report do not represent an accurate picture of the actual charges paid by customers who use roaming while travelling overseas because they neglect special roaming rates offered for calls made and received on networks in major destinations. Furthermore, the report fails to take into account the most recent range of international roaming packages form carriers that offer significant price reductions to customers." (The report was submitted in June before Vodafone announced its Vodafone Traveler international roaming offer). |
