Mobile phone giant 3 today announced plans to abolish roaming charges.
Millions of jet-setters will now be able to keep in touch with home for less under the new price plan which will see callers being charged domestic rates in seven different countries.
Under the scheme, 3 phone users travelling between the UK, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Australia, Hong Kong, Sweden and Denmark will no longer be charged for receiving calls and texts.
Customers can also use existing minutes, text and data bundles to make voice and video calls, send texts, picture and video messages, and even surf the internet.
"The launch of the 3 Like Home scheme will significantly benefit our customers as they travel between the 3 Group's networks," said Christian Salbaing, of 3.
"It underlines our commitment to fair treatment and reasonable pricing for all our customers."
However, Mr Salbaing warned 3 customers that they will continue to face high charges abroad if they roam on to a non-3 network because of the wholesale charges required by many of 3's roaming partners.
"We hope the European Commission will be successful in significantly reducing these wholesale charges, which will allow price reductions for customers roaming between different operators within Europe," he added.
3 claims it has 14 million customers worldwide.
