Can you settle an argument please?

Do any of the major networks charge to receive a call from abroad?

Eg. I am in England and someone in France calls me on my UK mobile from their French mobile. Am I right in thinking I would not be charged for this call?

  • depends where you are taking your call .

    1. if you are with uk provider and in uk then incoming calls are free. {generally unless you have taken a contract which charges you for incoming calls also}

    2. If on roaming (i.e. outside your service providers coverage area} then you will be charged for receiving calls as well {again if you have a special tariff which does not charge then its different matter}

    3. REVERSE charging can also occur.

    In one word, NO, providing that you are in UK.
