3 UK abolishes roaming cost - Page 3

And at last "3 like home" lands in Italy as well, called "3 come a casa", the exact translation... pity that the English tariff has not been perfectly translated as well and we have by far the worst option of the group!

3 come a casa

Outgoing calls to Italy: 50c€ set-up fee, normal national rate
Outgoing calls to other countries: 50c€ set-up fee, normal international rate
Incoming calls: 50c€
Outgoing SMS: international fee (30c€)
Data calls: national fee (no data options)

All in all, that's just shit...

Incoming calls are charged 50 cents per call, not per minute, I hope ???

Yeah, of course, 50 cent per call... consider that the normal fee with non-3 operators is 95cent/min plus a set-up of 15 cent... (with Wind it's 35 cent).

But with all the other 3s in the World incoming calls are free on "sister-networks", while we pay 50 cents...

Proud to be italian?

I saw the new "3 come a casa" tariff and i'm feeling disgusted.
They decided to imitate the Vodafone Passport option reducing by half the set-up fee but their offer includes less than half the countries of the Vodafone Passport...
They could make an effort to keep their national tariffs unchanged!

Not only less than half countries, but also very very little coverage (just Hong Kong can be considered with "national" coverage and Sweden is ok, but the rest....)

I drove through Austria, and the coverage was as patchy as the map lead me to expect - just brief periods near Linz, St Polten and Wien, and no roaming on any other network. I had looked forward to using a callback service to call home for two pence a minute, but I didn't bother in the end.

Oh yes... Very, very proud (by my side, ovviously)...
