Thus, Moldovan citizens will be able to make calls, send text messages (SMS) and use mobile Internet in the territory of the European Union without additional charges, at the same rates as in Moldova. The same conditions will also apply to EU citizens and the diaspora upon arrival in Moldova. As reported by the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization, the decision taken means access to communication services in the EU at national rates, guarantees consumers the same quality and speed of mobile communications as at home, as well as free access to emergency services, unlimited connectivity for people and businesses. "This is a concrete step towards the digital integration of Moldova into the single European market, which brings direct benefits to citizens, entrepreneurs and tourists," the department noted. As noted in the message of the Council of the European Union, the decision taken on Moldova will contribute to the gradual economic integration of the country into the EU internal market, which is one of the objectives of the 2016 Association Agreement. Currently, Moldovan citizens and businesses already enjoy lower roaming rates thanks to the agreement concluded in 2024. // 28.07.2025 — InfoMarket
