T-Mobile has announced it will cut data roaming charges for business customers from £7.50 per MB to £3 per MB.

But the price cut, in affect from Friday, will only include data sent and received in T-Mobile's ten "footprint" countries: Austria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, the UK and the US.

The offer is not available to customers using Officelink, BlackBerry email or Sidekick devices.

The lower price will enable SMEs and corporate customers to access email, web and other applications while away from the office, T-Mobile said.

"We are always looking to review our roaming costs and strive to offer the most competitive tariffs where possible," said Derek Williamson, head of business marketing, T-Mobile UK. "There is increasing demand for access to key business information whilst on the move both here in the UK and abroad."

He said that the announcement will ensure that the company's business customers benefit from improved communications and increased business efficiency "through the freedom to use mobile data services, in key business locations, at a significantly reduced cost."

The price cuts have begun with business customers because they download the most data, but T-Mobile is looking to announce a reduction in such rates at the consumer level by this summer.
