Most folks do not realise that whenever they use their UK mobiles overseas to make a local call they are charged for an International call!
Mobile companies say this is because these local calls have to be “re-routed” to the UK. Don’t believe a word of it as Vodaphone, for example owns many of the local operators!
The smarter solution is to buy a “Pay as you go” SIM card at your arrival at the airport or a local shop. If you have an recent old model phone stick the “Pay as you go” SIM card in it and use your current phone as an address book!
Alternatively buy a local cheap “Pay as you go Phone”. Most can be used for International calls and Text messages in that country and you can insert your SIM card for all your favourite addresses. You will soon recover your phone cost by the savings you make on calls over a two-week holiday!
