News:Internet bill limit for overseas use is introduced

Greater protection to prevent mobile phone and computer users from running up large bills when overseas comes into force across the EU on Thursday.

New rules mean that users will be automatically cut off when their monthly bill for using the internet abroad reaches 50 euros ($61; £41), excluding VAT.

Customers will receive a warning when they have used 80% of this limit.

They can set their own monthly cut-off point by contacting their provider.

Accessing the internet via your mobile phone while abroad is called "data roaming".
