From tomorrow, all customers of the 3 Ireland network will no longer have to pay higher call charges to domestic or UK numbers while roaming in Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
In addition, 3 Ireland has abolished international calling charges to all UK numbers from the Republic of Ireland. Per-minute international calls from Ireland to the UK have been reduced from 49c to 30c, and customers can use up to half of their allotted monthly bundled minutes to make these calls.
Last month O2 announced that fom April, roaming between the Republic and the North will be scrapped on O2's network for all its pre-pay and post-pay customers. The Minister and business groups welcomed the move.
