Brexit forces Vodafone UK to reintroduce roaming charges in Europe

Published

on

Vodafone has reintroduced roaming charges for UK mobile customers travelling in Europe

British telco, Vodafone has announced it will reintroduce roaming charges in Europe for UK mobile customers from January next year.

The company is the latest UK carrier to reintroduce the fees after the country’s departure from the European Union.

Vodafone has made changes to international roaming.

The move follows a similar U-turn from EE telco in June

All major carriers in the country previously stated they had no plans to introduce roaming fees in Europe after the Brexit vote – but that has been short promised.

The move follows a similar U-turn from EE telco in June

How it works:

The fees will apply to any Vodafone customers who sign up to or change their contract from August 11th, 2021, with the fees applying from January 6th, 2022.

Costs are dependent on a customer’s specific mobile plan, but most customers will pay £2 a day to use their UK allowance of calls, texts, and data within Europe, or £1 a day if access is bought in eight- or 15-day bundles.

But wait, there’s some good news:

Customers signed up to Vodafone’s “Unlimited Data Xtra plan with 4 Xtra benefits” or “Limited Data Xtra plan with 4 Xtra benefits” will pay no extra fee to use their UK allowance in Europe.

All UK Vodafone customers traveling to the Republic of Ireland, an EU member state, will not have to pay any roaming fees regardless of their contract.

Full details of the new payment plans can be found here.

Published

on

The success of hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure investment projects across the nation now hangs in the balance, all because of a critical shortage in the workforce.

This workforce crisis has thrown a massive wrench into the gears of progress, leaving experts scrambling to find innovative solutions.

The dire situation has left both government officials and private sector leaders scratching their heads.

With a surge in infrastructure initiatives aimed at improving the country’s roads, bridges, and public utilities, the shortage of skilled laborers is posing a substantial threat. The looming question on everyone’s mind: Can we complete these essential projects on time and within budget?

The shortage of workers, particularly in fields such as construction, engineering, and transportation, has led to increased competition for available labor, resulting in rising labor costs and project delays. Infrastructure projects are vital not only for public safety but also for economic growth, making this shortage a national concern that can’t be ignored.

As lawmakers debate potential solutions, the clock is ticking, and the fate of these critical infrastructure investments remains uncertain.

The nation eagerly awaits answers, hoping that innovative strategies will emerge to ensure that these projects can proceed smoothly, ultimately benefiting the economy and society at large.

Is Bitcoin’s rally here to stay or just another bubble?

Published

on

A combination of institutional interest, economic uncertainty, growing acceptance, and technological progress is driving Bitcoin’s surge.

 
Many factors contribute to Bitcoin’s upward momentum. First and foremost, increasing institutional adoption plays a pivotal role. Major companies and financial institutions are showing growing interest in Bitcoin as an asset class, pouring significant investments into it. This legitimizes the cryptocurrency in the eyes of traditional investors.

Additionally, global economic uncertainty and inflation concerns are pushing individuals to seek alternative investments. Bitcoin, with its limited supply and decentralized nature, is emerging as a store of value and a hedge against economic turbulence.

Moreover, growing mainstream acceptance and awareness are fueling demand. More merchants are accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, making it increasingly accessible to consumers.

Furthermore, technological advancements, such as the Lightning Network, are improving Bitcoin’s scalability and usability, enhancing its attractiveness as a digital currency. #featured #bitcoin
