At last - cheap GPRS roaming courtesy of Tariffman

map.jpgTravelling overseas has always hit you where it hurts - in your wallet - and nothing hits you harder than GPRS roaming.

Thankfully, someone’s negotiated a low-cost GPRS roaming tariff with European operators.

TariffMan has negotiated a single European-wide tariff covering the EU (including the UK), costing only £4 a month, plus a flat-rate £1.50 per MB, billed by the kb.

This might sound a lot, but considering you can pay up to £12 per MB when travelling, it’s a steal. Not only this but TariffMan claims you won’t pay no session charges for logging on and no unexpected costs arising from using overseas networks that charge different rates for data access.

TariffMan had previously offered GPRS roaming via a Vodafone MVNO, aimed at business users, who had to buy a Sim card and pay to use it. Now TariffMan has launched it for consumers as well.

This summer the EU forced a cap on operators’ roaming charges with the Eurotariff so it was only a matter of time before someone capitalised.

Similar roaming tariffs are already in use covering the US, Canada and Mexico, but now, finally, we have the same in Europe.
