BRUSSELS: Mobile phone roaming fees in the EU will fall sharply by May, the last step before they are abolished completely for Europeans next year. 

The European Union will scrap phone roaming charges outright on June 15, 2017 ending fees loathed by millions of holidaymakers and business travellers across Europe.
