You think €51 per GB is absurd? I have a Vodafone prepaid connection from Germany. Currently traveling in Switzerland, Vodafone informed me my roaming data charges are 17ct per 50 Kb.

A little back of the envelope calculation and that puts my rate at €3.500 per GB. Now that's an absurd value!!

I'm curious if that was postpaid. My prepaid Vodafone data started working EU-wide without extra charges just over a year ago.

Switzerland is not in EU, so the prices for there are not regulated.

As a result on my prepaid CallYa plan, I have insane charges when roaming here.
