Texts abroad

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a few friends that are out in Spain & I have text them a few times to see how they are! I pay monthly & have an iPhone 5c if that makes any difference. Also I have text them through iMessage and I wondered if that costs or not.
Thanks x

Hi

If your texting a uk mobile then it's part of your text allowance.

Same for iMessage but that uses data and your friends will need their data or wifi on to receive them.

If their not on uk SIM cards / networks then here is the link http://international.o2.co.uk/internationaltariffs/calling_abroad_from_uk

When I am abroad and turn off roaming I do not receive SMS texts nor can I access voicemail. Is this correct or have I set up my phone obcorrectly?

Switch on roaming but make site you switch off mobile data.  If you have tugo set it for wifi.

Yes, you need to have roaming enabled to allow your phone to fully connect to a foreign network.
