Cost of texting abroad being cut down

Britons sending text messages from abroad could see the cost come down by two-thirds if EU regulators get their way.

Officials will try to make the price of texting from abroad more in line with doing it at home so people are not "ripped-off".
It comes after mobile phone companies failed to take voluntary action over the issue.
A year ago, Brussels slashed the cost of using mobiles abroad. Now it is targeting high charges for sending and receiving texts from another country.
EU Telecoms Commissioner Viviane Reding says the 2.5 billion text messages sent every year by roaming customers in EU member states cost over 10 times more than domestic messages.
The average cost of a roaming text message in the EU between October 2007 and March 2008 was 29 euro cents - 23p - but can be as high as 80 cents (63p) for travellers from Belgium.
UK customers pay around 15 cents (12p) for a message domestically.
