Does O2 charge me to send an O2 SMS while I am abroad?

[Anonymous]

I am interested in using the O2 priority ticket booking to book concert tickets through O2. To do that, they send you an SMS after you confirm your phone number with them. 

I am currently abroad in Canada. Will receiving that SMS cost me if it is from O2?

Hi and Welcome to the Community Forum.

O2 do not charge a person to receive a text from a uk location to a uk phone whilst abroad.

I doubt O2 themselves would to send you your text for the concert.

Also a point to note ; To help stop being charged for sending a text while abroad people on a Pay Monthly Contract can use Tugo whilst connected to wifi ,which then uses their monthly allowance.

Enjoy the concert.

It's always free to receive a normal SMS text no matter where you are....
As long as it's not a premium rate text it won't cost you but you should check the T&C's of the company sending the confirmation.
Again, if it's O2 sending it will be free......
