In 2026, prices for mobile communication in Europe vary significantly from country to country. In some nations, you can get a comprehensive package of data and calls for just 5–10 euros, while in others, even basic tariffs are much more expensive. This is reported with reference to Numbeo data via Novyny.LIVE, reports Dengi.ua .

One of the countries with the most affordable tariffs remains Poland. On average, a package with 10 GB of mobile internet here costs about €8.62 per month, which is equivalent to approximately 442 UAH. Experts attribute these low prices to fierce competition among operators who are actively fighting for customers.

Low tariffs are also maintained in Italy. Following the entry of the operator Iliad Italia into the market, the cost of services has noticeably decreased, forcing other companies to revise their offers. Today, mobile communication in the country costs on average between €6 and €15 monthly.

In Spain, users are offered large mobile internet packages - sometimes up to 50-100 GB. Among the popular budget operators are Lowi and various brands of the Telefónica group. The average cost of a tariff is about €16.24 per month.

In France, mobile communication is slightly more expensive but remains more affordable compared to Germany or the UK. Budget operators, including Free Mobile, are highly active in the market. The average monthly tariff here reaches around €19.28.

One of the most expensive mobile markets in Europe remains Germany. A tariff with a standard internet package usually costs between €15 and €25 per month, while the average price of a 10 GB package sits at €23.47.

High prices are also recorded in the Netherlands, where the average cost of a mobile tariff reaches €21.09. Analysts attribute this to the high income level of the population.

Mobile communication services are even more expensive in Norway. Due to high salaries, challenging terrain, and costly infrastructure, the average tariff there is about €34 per month.

Among small but affluent European nations, the highest prices are observed in Monaco at about €47 monthly, Liechtenstein at roughly €37.23, and Luxembourg at around €26.6.

In the UK, certain mobile tariffs also remain quite expensive and can reach almost €35 per month.
