The Mercosur Roaming Agreement has been officially approved by Congress. This agreement, signed in 2019, will eliminate roaming charges for travelers to Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The measure was made official with the publication of Law No. 27,740 in the Official Gazette, signed by Vice President Victoria Villarruel and Deputy Martín Menem.
The negotiations for this agreement were led by Silvana Giudici, the former president of the National Communications Entity and current PRO deputy, in 2019. The agreement for the Elimination of International Roaming Charges for Mercosur End Users was signed by former President Mauricio Macri and his counterparts from Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil in the same year.
The Mercosur Roaming Agreement aims to facilitate communication for travelers in the region by removing the barriers of high roaming charges. This initiative promotes connectivity and enhances the travel experience for individuals visiting Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It represents a step towards greater integration and cooperation within the Mercosur countries.
