Why did these rates change?

Previously, SMARTY was making a loss by charging EU Roaming rates in Switzerland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, and by having calls and messages to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man in bundle. Being a simple, honest mobile network, we don’t like to raise your prices, but we need to make sure we’re covering our costs.
