It’s that dreaded moment of every summer holiday.<br /><br /> The long break that you’ve been looking forward all year can be ruined by the eye-watering phone bill that awaits you back home.<br /><br /> Now EU officials say they’ve struck a deal to end roaming charges when travelling inside the EU from June 2017.<br /><br /> It means you could pay the same to text, call and use data as you do at home.<br /><br /> The announcement comes after hours of talks on Monday between governments and EU lawmakers.<br /><br /> But there will be a fair use limit that still needs to be defined by the European Commission.<br /><br /> Telecoms firms will be able to charge a basic fee once that limit has been exceeded, the EU executive said in a statement.<br /><br /> The agreement will have to approved once more by MEPs and EU governments, but Monday’s talks mean this is all but a formality.
