Fiona Hall, Liberal Democrat MEP for North East England endorses Europeans for Fair Roaming. She is the 7th MEP to endorse our campaign, which now has cross-party by MEPs from most political groups in the European Parliament. Ms Hall is a member of the Parliament committee on Industry, Research and Energy, which is the main committee concerned with the roaming regulation.

Ms Hall commented: “It’s time to end this roaming rip-off. Calling, texting or using the Internet from your mobile should cost the same wherever you are in the EU. The only reason it doesn’t it because of the greed of the networks. They have tried to block every move we’ve made to reduce charges because they know how much people depend on their mobile phones.”
