EU charges for mobile usage won't be waived for Islanders

From June next year, extra costs of using a mobile phone in countries across the EU will be scrapped.
It follows years of negotiations between EU officials and mobile phone operators.
However, the charges won’t be waived for Islanders who would face huge bills when downloading films or other data during their holidays.
