3UK's new european roaming charges - 25p/min?

Got a note in from an SMS Text News reader this afternoon who confidently asserts that 3UK are about to announce the following roaming price update tomorrow:

3 are reducing europe roaming charges from 30th August: –
25p/min to make a call abroad
10p/min to receive a call aboad
25p/text to send a text whilst abroad
No charge to receive a text abroad

If that’s anywhere near accurate, it’ll certainly position 3UK as the cheapest mobile operator bar none.

That would mean that my 103 minute call to 3UK customer services from Geneva last year would have only cost about £25 down from the £89 I paid.

The reader also reports that 3UK are about to introduce data roaming for GPRS & MMS to over 40 countries. About sodding time. The absence of this has really been winding me up.
