Tesco mobile texts to abroad

chopkins

I'm currently on the O2 simplicity tariff which allows you to text UK numbers that are abroad as part of your free text, so my girlfriend is out the country at the moment and when I text her UK mobile it just counts as 1 of my free texts.

Does anyone know if tesco have a similar system as I'm looking at moving to their version of the O2 simplicty which gives a pretty good deal at the moment with £15 for 500 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited web?

Thanks in advance for any help

As long as you are in the UK and are texting/calling a UK mobile number (whether it's in this country or not) it will come out of any free allowance you have on any of the networks.

Any

It's got nothing to do with the provider - they are all the same. It's about the number you are texting/calling. If it is UK number, no matter where the number is in the world you will only pay or not pay as is the case what you would when it is in the UK.

It is the owner of the UK number that is abroad who pays roaming charges to receive those. And that price can vary from provider to provider.

Think about it - how are you even supposed to know that the number is abroad? What if you do not know it when you dial it? Why should YOU pay for call that as far as you are aware is UK to UK?
