costs calling uk mobile in europe

dilated · 12 Oct 2011 at 22:15

does anyone know the costs of calling a uk mobile while it is roaming abroad?

usually if a phone is roaming I can call 07xxxxxxxx and will be connected, I understand that the foreign phone pays per minute to receive the call, but does the uk phone also pay extra fees?

If you are calling a UK +44 number whilst in the UK with a +44 number, then you pay the normal rate. So inclusive minutes will be used if you have that.

You mean UK mobile to UK mobile roaming in europe? Both pay extra.

This is incorrect. Only the person roaming abroad pays to receive the call. The person in the UK will pay the same whether the person is a few metres away it a few thousand miles.

I think he meant if both UK mobiles were roaming, in which case, yes, both would be charged roaming rates.

But as squawkBOX says, if you are in the UK, dialing a UK number, you pay the normal rate for that call no matter where the receiver is - if the receiver is abroad or what not, any extra charges go to them
