Calling a Cyprus landline: 40p

Calling a mobile in Cyprus: 40p

Sending a txt message: 20p

 

iMessage will only work (and be free) if both of you are connected to Wifi, otherwise I believe it will send a txt message instead.

If you are a calling or texting a UK network phone anywhere in the world both minutes and texts will come out of your allowance. Receiving calls and texts will also be free for you.

 

Your boyfriend will be charged for receiving calls but not texts, presuming he is using a UK simcard.
