Britons 'fleeced' for right to roam with mobiles

The European Union warned holiday-makers across Europe yesterday that they risked being fleeced by mobile phone operators while making and taking calls abroad, reports The Guardian.

"The European Commission said it would set up a website in the autumn to enable consumers to compare prices in the hope that this greater transparency would force operators to pass on to consumers the savings they made on wholesale prices."
