Roaming in the EU: iliad adjusts GB available and extra-threshold costs expected from 2021
This year, unlike the previous one, iliad has decided to play in advance and has already updated on the Contract Summary documents the quantities of GB provided for in Roaming in the EU (for each individual offer) calculated on the new limits established by the legislation European Union starting from 1 January 2021. iliad roaming 2021
As is known, iliad allows you to use minutes and SMS from your offer without limitations when Roaming in the EU . With regard to data traffic, each mobile operator can apply a safeguard limit (correct use) in order to prevent abusive or anomalous use of the services. This limit can be calculated with the following formula:
2 * package price (without VAT) / the ceiling for wholesale prices (this year equal to 3.50 euros). From 1 January 2021 this ceiling drops to 3 euros (and from 1 January 2022 to 2.50 euros, always excluding VAT).
This means a greater amount of GB available roaming.
In the following table we have listed the iliad offers with data traffic included (even those no longer marketed), reporting the minimum quantity of GB guaranteed by the current European legislation, the thresholds applied by iliad in 2020 and those foreseen for 2021.

The extra-threshold tariff also changes for data traffic that can be used in the EU. Once the quantity made available each month has been exceeded (as shown in the table), iliad customers will no longer pay 0.00427 euros per MB but 0.00366 euros per MB.
For those who still have the first offer marketed by iliad active at the launch of the service (iliad 5.99), with this new modification they will be able to enjoy a greater amount of data traffic in Roaming in the EU, at an unchanged price. iliad roaming 2021
