you have to be on vodafone passport - 75p charge/call as standard, I believe?

Didnt they just pass a law in Brussels to limit roaming charges in Europe ( seem to think they said texts should be lower than some UK providers already charge for UK texts )

Methinks Voda are are doing this to keep their charges at ( higher?) UK prices.:rolleyes:

Sid is right

For each call received that lasts more than 60 minutes, a 20p per minute charge applies from the 60th minute onwards. This is charged in per second increments.
