Hi Caroline, The UK caller pays the normal UK rate of call. You pay the bit from the UK to wherever you are abroad, so it can get quite costly if you have a lot of people call you regularly who don't know you are abroad. For that reason, when my wife goes to Denmark, she takes her own phone with here, but buys a local pay as you go simcard. Only those who really need it are texted that number, and the callers then pay the full whack of the call to Denmark.

I have recently been abroad and will be going away again in a few weeks. When I crossed the channel, I received a text message telling me it would cost 38p a minute to make a call from my mobile and 19p to receive one. What I wasn't sure about was what would happen if someone in the UK rang my UK mobile while I was abroad. I would obviously pay 19p a minute to receive their call, but would they be charged as if I was still in the UK, or would they be charged as if they were calling abroad. It would seem fairer if they were only charged as if I was still in the UK as they may not even be aware that I was out of the country so shouldn't really be penalised for that. Just curious, Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of deonv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 18 June 2008 11:17 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: telephoning overseas mobiles Hi, the url for the moneysavingexpert international call checker is: http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/ Toward the end of the page you'll find the country selector and other search criteria settings.
