Cost of mobile to mobile when phones abroad

I am trying to find the cost of phoning mobile to mobile whilst both phones are abroad but the SIMS are registered in the UK. Is it always the cost of an outpoing call to the UK for one of the phones and the cost of an incoming call from the UK for the other?

I guess this is a common requirement, where you go on holiday with someone but don't stop with them all the time and you need to call them.

Yes I know there are local SIMS doubt if these are worthwhile for a few minutes over the holiday.

    Basically yes. It is effectively two international calls - one for each phone.
    Best to switch the phones off and do what we did before our life was cursed by mobiles. Make plans and stick to them, with an alternative should that fail for some reason. Can't get my offspring to comprehend such a life though!:)

    Well one of the phones has a free Euro allowance when abroad, so the cost should be limited to 35p/min outgoing and 14p/min incoming for the other phone. This shouldn't break the bank!
