Phone Roaming Charges Are Set To Get A Little Cheaper In The GCC

Roaming charges are set to get a little more affordable thanks to a new directive issued by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority. 

The TRA announced a cap to roaming charges within the GCC, which apply to UAE telecom companies.

 This means UAE travellers to GCC countries will save a bit of cash on their phone bills. 

The caps on roaming have reduced charges by approximately 18%

“The implementation of the price caps by all mobile operators in the GCC represents a great achievement for GCC countries regionally and internationally. The TRA strives to achieve the satisfaction and happiness of the customers and the TRA is making unremitting efforts to raise the quality of the services provided by the telecommunications sector to better serve the UAE’s customers and to ensure that they have access to quality services at competitive prices. We are looking forward to the positive impact that the implementation of this directive will have on the UAE customers travelling to the GCC.”
