Croatia telecom market is in Southern Europe with 3 Croatia Telecom Companies and 4.7 million mobile connections.
Croatia prices compared to those in the EU: According to a 2020 report by the European Commission, Croatia had the second-lowest prices for mobile broadband services among all EU member states. The report found that the average price for 1GB of mobile data in Croatia was €1.9, which is significantly lower than the EU average of €3.1.
The same report also found that Croatia had the fifth-lowest prices for fixed broadband services among all EU member states. The average price for a fixed broadband subscription in Croatia was €20.4 per month, which is slightly lower than the EU average of €31.9.
Croatia, as member of EU, implement “roam like at home” rules which mean that when you use your mobile phone while travelling outside your home country in any EU country you don’t have to pay any additional roaming charges.
You benefit from these rules when calling (to mobile and fixed phones), sending text messages (SMS) and using data services while abroad. These rules also apply when receiving calls or texts while roaming even if the person you are calling is using a different service provider.
You pay exactly the same price for using these services when travelling in the EU as you would if you were at home.
Mobile users must be aware that outside EU countries, on the ships, cruisers, planes etc. there are still roaming charges and they can be very high.
