I am with virgin (Blackberry) and need to send photos on my phone via email for my job to a person with a UK phone but that person is sometimes located in Geneva, Switzerland. Can someone point me in the direction of the costs of this as I am going round in circles on the Virgin website.

Many thanks.

    The cost to you is the same as if the recipient was in the UK.

    Any roaming charges will be paid by the recipient.

    As mentioned the cost to you will remain the same, the recipient...well that will depend on thier roaming data charges (not sure if they have BB messaging and if pics are included?)

    Thanks for the quick reply. Thats a relief as I sent 80 emails with photo attachments last week and other people I work with are complaining of high phone bills due to this. Think they must have called/texted this persons Swiss phone, maybe.

    I dont know if they have a BB or not. As long as I dont incur extra charges thats fine.
