Due to more affordable roaming fees between Romania and the Republic of Moldova, the bilateral roaming traffic last year soared to one million GB, shows a joint report by the National Communications Administration and Regulation Authority (ANCOM) and the Republic of Moldova's National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Information Technology (ANRCETI).The report highlights the significant progress made in the three years of application of the 2022 Agreement on the reduction of roaming and international call fees between the two states."The application of the Agreement continues until the inclusion of the Republic of Moldova in the EU's 'roam like at home' space, which is expected to happen on January 1, 2026," the local telecommunications market arbitrator said on July 11.75% of the 2024 increase in bidirectional data roaming traffic was due to the intensification of data consumption, 14% was generated by the increase in the number of roaming users, and the rest was due to the extension of the roaming presence.Last year, the average cost of a day of bilateral roaming stayed the same as in 2023, whilst daily internet traffic scored a significant increase of 42%. Thus, a day of data roaming in Moldova meant, on average, 175 MB of traffic for users from the Republic of Moldova roaming in Romania, respectively 63 MB for users from Romania roaming in the Republic of Moldova.Number-based mobile phone roaming traffic saw significant increases, especially among Republic of Moldova users roaming in Romania, who generated approximately 30% more minutes of calls compared to 2023.

The document is being implemented with the support of ANRCETI and ANCOM.The agreement aims to create a framework for cooperation between the two states with a view to sustainably reducing retail fees for international voice, SMS and data roaming services, respectively for international calls between the two states.
