Mobile phone prices in Europe remain unevenly distributed in 2026. While some countries offer extensive data packages for just a few euros per month, basic tariffs in other countries can cost three times as much. According to 24tv, prices in the European Union (EU) vary widely despite a common digital market.
In countries with high competition, such as Italy and Poland, providers are forced to lower prices and create attractive offers. In contrast, tariffs in wealthier countries like Germany and the United Kingdom often remain significantly higher. In Poland, prices for basic mobile service packages start at just 5 to 9 euros.
According to Numbeo, the average price for a plan with calls and 10 gigabytes of data in 2026 is 8.62 euros. These low prices result from intense competitive conditions among major mobile providers, who engage in aggressive price wars.
