How Are Mobile Roaming User Profiles Defined?

The mobile roaming calculator by moneyland.ch lets you choose between a number of preset user profiles for quick calculations.

When you select a preset user profile, calculations are based on the following assumptions of your telecom use over a 30-day period. When you enter a roaming period shorter or longer than 30 days, results are recalculated based on the number of days you enter. Note that the calculator accounts for per-minute billing of roaming calls. You can find more bases for calculation here.
