Mobile - Limits on internet charges

New rules have come into effect across Europe limiting mobile phone bills for surfing the internet.

From today, customers can oblige mobile phone operators to cut them off when their bill reaches a pre-set amount, when accessing the internet in other European nations.

If users do not put a limit in place by 1 July, it will automatically be set at €50.

The phone firms will have to warn users when their bill reaches 80% of the limit.
