Minister for Communications Noel Dempsey has warned mobile phone companies that they could lose out on business if they do not follow a decision by O2 Ireland to abolish roaming charges for its customers between the Republic and the North.
O2 announced today that its 1.6 million customers in the Republic would not be charged from April for calls they receive while in the North. The Minister and business groups have welcomed the move. Customers in the North will not benefit from today's announcement.
O2 Ireland has also abolished roaming charges across the UK and Ireland for its business customers. From April, roaming between the Republic and the North will be scrapped on O2's network for all its pre-pay and post-pay customers. These means that these customers will not be charged for calls they receive while roaming in Northern Ireland.
