Hi,

I have a monthly sim only contract and I am planning to be in India for a month. I am aware that O2 has high roaming charges for India. As a workaround, I am planning to take a Lebara sim with me which has no roaming charges for India, and forward all calls from my O2 to Lebara. I am planning to set up thr call forward while in UK, before I travel.

My question is that, for the call forwards, will I be charged for roaming or will it come out of my minutes?

That's fine as long as it cannot connect to a foreign network.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

There's no charge for calling a UK number no matter where it is.

Your O2 sim needs to stay in UK.

If that question is aimed at @Abhi_Mitra, you need to tag him so that he notices your question.
