ELISA CORPORATION INVESTOR NEWS 23 MAY 2019 AT 3:15 PM
Traficom has granted Elisa a renewed license to apply surcharges for consumer customers data roaming in EU and EEA countries. The new license becomes valid when the previous license expires on 15 June 2019, and is valid until 14 June 2020.
Dataroaming prices in EU and EEA countries will decrease by 33 per cent, and there are no additional fees for voice calls and text messages.
Maximum prices for Elisa’s consumer customer in EU and EEA countries according to Traficom’s license:
| Prices incl. VAT | Prices until 14 June 2019 | Consumer customer prices from 15 June 2019 |
| Voice calls | Domestic price | Domestic price |
| Receiving calls | For free | For free |
| Text messages | Domestic price | Domestic price |
| Data transfer | EUR 5.58 /GB | EUR 3.72 /GB |
Traficom’s new license doesn’t impact on EU dataroaming included in current consumer subscriptions, and it doesn’t apply to corporate customer subscriptions.
Change of the roaming prices is not expected to have negative impact on Elisa’s profits. Elisa’s 2019 guidance and mid-term financial targets are intact.
