A new regulation for data roaming (data consumption abroad) is effective 1 March 2010. This regulation has been imposed by the EU (European Union). It states that every customer must indicate a cost limit for data roaming. Customers are also entitled to receive a warning when they reach 80% of their reported limit.
Unfortunately, Lebara Mobile is unable to meet this requirement due to technical reasons. Therefore, effective 1 March 2010, Lebara Mobile has been forced to terminate data roaming for all its prepaid customers. In concrete terms, this means that you can no longer use the following services while you are abroad:
MMS
GPRS/UMTS
Internet
Watching TV on your mobile
Downloading music/mp3
Downloading games
Navigating
Chatting
YouTube
Please note! This does not apply to SMS. SMS messages can still be sent and received abroad.
