My daughter is on a Virgin unlimited text package with 200 mins of calls. When she goes to France this month, does anybody know if she has to pay extra to RECEIVE texts. I know she will have to pay extra if she makes them.

Your help would be appreciated. I've checked the website but to no avail.

Thanks

    There is no charge to receive text. Beware of the motherly single ring ackowledgement, as she may well be charged for roaming.

    Thanks for that. What is 'the motherly single ring acknowledgement'?

    Cheers
