Tele2 mobile operator will spend over EUR 600,000 on compensations to its clients for mobile roaming disruptions reported on August 3 and 4, informs LETA.

Tele2 subscribers with postpaid plans who on August 3 and 4 were outside Latvia and were affected by the roaming disruptions will not be charged the subscription fee for August and clients with prepaid plans will receive EUR 10 to their prepaid cards.


Tele2 informed that clients with both the prepaid and postpaid plans would be compensated for all their roaming-related expenses that have occurred between August 1 and 5. In addition to the aforementioned compensation, those clients with postpaid plans who were in foreign countries will receive 100 gigabytes of mobile data which they will be able to use until September 30, 2018.


All other Tele2 clients will be given 20 gigabytes of mobile data which have to be used by the end of August 2018.
