Hi @Anonymous

 

   Don't worry you will be fine!!! It will work and it will not cost you an arm and a leg!!! O2 travel is a good option,depending on how much you want to use it over there, but it is definitely the safest option.

   Have a look at the link below

Your phone should work ok.

Switch off mobile data and use wifi.

Alternatively you can use O2 Travel for use there at £1.99/day

Of course if you are calling your friend on a German mobile or landline, O2 travel doesn't apply and you will be charged the following:

Surely not more website anomalies and inconsistency?

Nop! The information is all in the right place! I think you must have selected calling abroad instead of travelling abroad :wink:

It's only clear if you know what you are talking about.
To the average punter it's confusing and inconsistent.....

I posted intentially to highlight that point.
