DNA to introduce substantially lower roaming charges for Europe

The European Union roaming regulations provisions that enter into force on 30 April will lower the prices of calls, text messages and data transfer throughout the EU area. New prices will apply in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway as well.

For all DNA consumer subscriptions, the new data transfer charge in Europe will be EUR 0.099 per Megabyte. The charge for calls made will be EUR 0.099 per minute, for calls received, EUR 0.014 per minute and for text messages, EUR 0.065 per SMS.

In practical terms, this means that the cost of surfing the web for an hour or checking Facebook a couple of hundred times will typically be five euros in data transfer charges.

“We will reduce prices substantially, by up to 60 per cent over the current levels. DNA applies a single tariff to all consumer subscriptions, which makes the issue very clear and easy for customers to remember. We will not lower data transfer speed in any way,” says Pekka Väisänen, Senior Vice President, Consumer Business.

All DNA subscriptions have an automatic EUR 60 balance limit for data transfer abroad. Customers may raise or lower this limit, depending on individual preferences.
