(33) However, measures should be introduced to improve the transparency of retail prices for data roaming services, in particular to eliminate the problem of "bill shock" which constitutes a barrier to the smooth functioning of the internal market, and to provide roaming customers with the tools they need to monitor and control their expenditure on data roaming services. Equally, measures should be put in place to ensure that mobile operators who block applications or technologies which can be a substitute for, or alternative to, roaming services, such as WiFi, VoIP and Instant Messaging services, provide the consumer with this information, thus allowing the consumer to make an informed choice.
