Using O2 abroad

[Anonymous]

I'm going to Italy on Saturday and was wondering does one text message and one picture message still count as four texts off of your allowance?

Do I need to ring O2 to activate roaming?

I'm on a Simplicity tariff.

Yes as long as it is to a UK mobile.The phone is automatically set up for roaming and will auto-select the network which has a roaming agreement with o2.

Thanks for your quick reply.

So say I text someone who is abroad, while I'm abroad, and they're also using a UK mobile number, is that included?

Yes it is as long as the other country has a roaming agreement too.
