Mobile operator T-Mobile has joined rivals Virgin Media (here) and Orange (here) in reducing its mobile internet data roaming costs for those who want to keep surfing when outside of the UK. The operator also highlights new research from Omnibus, which found that 40% of customers would take their laptop on holiday with them if they could get connected to the internet easily.

Starting from 1st March T-Mobile will launch Euro Broadband Boosters to pay-per-day and pay-monthly Mobile Broadband customers. These will be selectable from a simple web page to ensure customers will not have to pay more than the fixed price option they’ve chosen.

Euro Broadband Boosters
* 3MB for £1 with about 15 minutes online checking email
* 20MB for £5 with about 2 hours online usage
* 50MB for £10 with one days use
* 200MB for £40 with 30 days usage

The 3MB, 20MB and 50MB Euro Broadband Boosters all last for up to 24 hours from when the Booster is purchased; the 200MB Booster lasts for up to 30 days from when the Booster is bought. The customer’s remaining time or allowance is easily visible through a status webpage letting them check where they are with their Booster credit at any time. This webpage reappears when their allowance or time has expired, to let them buy another Booster if they choose to stay online.
