*ahem* the OP is talking about ROI but the post I am referring to from "StewartMG" does not state and does not make it clear.
I dont see the problem here. Fox said "yes you will def be charged" and I simply put "not necessarily, as you wont be charged roaming in NI". Fox then decided to get all huffy about it and, because someone contradicts his posts, has to reply with his usual arrogance that permeates most of his posts.

Good, there is enough misleading information in this thread without you trying to argue more of it.
That's rather shneeky of them
Yeah, they class the "diverted call" (the call being diverted to your VMS) as an out bound call.
Should we also point out you wont be charged in Scotland either? No, because it's pretty obvious that if you are in the UNITED KINGDOM you wont be charged for roaming because you are not roaming.
The bottom line is this:
If you leave the United Kingdom and use your mobile telephone in such a way that you roam onto a network which is not your home network, you will be charged for roaming and you will be charged for receiving calls unless you have some sort of roaming package on your account like Vodafone Passport.
It really is that simple and the constant 'Yea but 19 years ago when I was charged for receiving a text in Oman' helps nobody.
*shrug* I think it's pretty clear he meant the ROI given that's what the thread is about. Confusing thread has become confusing.
Sorry yeah I was talking about ROI, Dublin to be exact, I feel like I've caused mayhem
Not at all, I knew exactly what you meant and answered as such

After a long time working in customer support for a mobile network provider, you would be amazed at what some people ask (including roaming in Scotland
)... They DO ask if they need roaming for NI, hence my post.I don't see why you are getting so annoyed by me stating some information that, albeit may be obvious to yourself, is NOT obvious to a lot of people. I didn't "attack" your posts, I just added some clarification for people that might NOT know there is a difference.
Helping people is good... no ??

Well, the post in that thread is more appropriate for this thread but seeing as some people thought otherwise, I put it in its own thread....
And "seriously" ??... You're kidding me, right ??... You DON'T see the tounge-in-cheek sarcasm dripping from every pore of that thread ??
Wow....

good advice however not always true. for example vodafone let you have normal rates from most countries in europe last summer and in the past have done certain countries at certain times
should always ring your provider and ask before you go away. they can usually offer a deal or bolt on to make things cheaper for you
edit- nevermind , see you mentioned this later in thread
I addressed this in Post 45. This is Vodafone Passport. Vodafone Passport is actually a very good deal - if you opt in (and you MUST opt in, you do not get it by default) you simply pay a fixed cost of 70p to receive or make a call, and the rest of the call is charged as if you were in the UK - so you can use inclusive minutes, etc etc.
Last years 'Summer of Roaming' promotion simply waived the 70p fee for Passport users

OP It's craic, not "crack" 
The craic is:

Nope, we can't. It's because we're such a backwards country
