Solved: Charges for locals calling me while im roaming in ...

Anonymous · ‎22-08-2016

Hi,
If I have a UK O2 number, and im in a EU country i can call for 16p/m and text for 4p/m and receive calls for free. Since it is cheaper than any provider here (in Hungary), im considering to use my O2 number permanently in roaming. But im worried that my friends would get charged international call fees, whenever calling me, despite we are in the same country. So the question is, if somebody calls me from the same EU country as I am roaming in, does he pay for international calling, or is it charged as a local call??

Friends calling you will be charged not thing. Wherever you are in the world any calls will come from their allowance. You on the other hand will be charged international rates for that country unless you use TU over wifi in which case it will be free.

@jonsie If friends in U.K. Yes but I took the op to mean local Hungary contacts unless I misunderstood!

If they call you from Hungary they will be charged international roaming rates.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Yes, rereading the original post friends within the country will pay international rates.
