As the new Roaming charges are coming in tomorrow, it dosent say whether we will still be charged for receiveing calls whilst abroad , it says receiving a call wont trigger the £1.99 daily charge, any one know if there will be a charge

According to this article, from today, roaming charges will be reduced. Complete abolition is more than a year away. Just wanted to make sure people were clear about this.
