Where exactly are you, @Donna1963 ?

This https://www.o2.co.uk/international/using-your-phone-abroad has all the options open to you, depending on where you are, and also shows you PAYG as well as Contract (Pay Monthly) cost and bolt-ons needed.

Note if you are in Europe, most countries need no special Bolt-On, check here:

Enjoy your time abroad, wherever you are, @Donna1963.

Receiving text messages is the only thing you get for free outside of the EU.

To avoid any charges at all, leave your phone at home.

True. But hardly practical, tbh.
