(Telecompaper) Travellers are willing to pay more for mobile roaming; 53 percent say that roaming costs can be a little higher than tariffs in their home country, according to a survey conducted by Travelling Connect and Telecompaper among more than 700 frequent travellers. Although over half of travellers are willing to pay a little more for roaming, most still thought that the current data roaming fees are too high. Only 13 percent think data roaming fees within their region are reasonable, and this drops to 6 percent outside their region. Among European travellers, the difference is greater (18% within EU versus 6% outside). Price is the main reason why almost half switch data roaming off when abroad. Over seven out of ten have also experienced 'bill shock' at least once, with the average amount of the excessive bill at over EUR 200.
