Charged for receiving calls in France

Anonymous
Not applicable
Having got a good French mobile deal for France I was surprised to see call chargrs on my O2 bill. But I'be now realised I've been charged 41p for each of the calls I'be received and answered while here. Am I missing something, or is this a mistake? In each case the number of the call I'm supposed to have made is my own O2 number. I'm confused.

How does O2 Travel work?

You'll only be charged £1.99 for the days that you use data in Europe.

There's no upper usage limit, but traffic management steps apply. Your daily data charge will apply from midnight to midnight UK time
When you make or receive calls between countries in Europe, there's a connection charge of 50p, then it's free to talk for up to 60 minutes.

Texts sent to the UK and Europe – 5p (free to receive).

Sending a media message – 25p per message.

Hi

We typically suggest turning off
Voicemail while abroad.

If You call the network customer service department they will
Clarify what the charges are.

LEt us know how you get on.

Thanks, but voicemail is turned off. I definitely haven't made calls, and the dates and times match when I've received and answered calls. I guess I'd better call O2 to sort this out. It's only a handful of calls, so not a big deal in this instance, but there's something odd going on.

Hi

Yes a call to Customer Service will clarify.

Don't use Live Chat.

Good Luck.

So are you saying that O2 are charging you for receiving calls on your French number?

...and my calls to customer services are being terminated as soon as I've entered my number. Curious.
