“LONDON, July 19 (Reuters) – 3 UK, the British mobile phone business of Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa (0013.HK: Quote, Profile, Research), said on Thursday it would cut the cost of using a mobile phone abroad by up to 47 percent — below European regulatory caps.

3 UK, the smallest of Britain’s five mobile phone network operators, said customers travelling within the European Union would pay 25 pence ($0.51) per minute to call fixed or mobile numbers at home and 10 pence per minute to receive calls.”
