Large Medium SmallBEIJING - China Mobile, the nation's largest mobile telecommunications company, announced on Thursday it would cut its roaming service charges in Britain for the next two months, during which the Olympic Games will be held.
Subscribers who uses Vodafone's network will have to pay only 0.99 yuan ($0.16) per minute for phone calls made or received during July 1 and Aug 31. Subscribers usually pay 1.99 yuan to make a call to the Chinese mainland.

China Mobile said the move was a result of tough negotiations between itself and overseas telecommunications operators.
