forwarding all calls to another mobile EE

Am I right in saying if i do this it will just be a call from mob 1 to mob 2?

so if I foward all calls then it will be as if mob 1 called mob 2? so ok as long as i dont use all my allowance?

Ive got a three sim card to use on hols in usa so want to forward to this?

    You will still get charged for the international call from mobile 1 to mobile 2. If you have international call allowance, you would be ok - if you do not then it will cost you.

    The 3 sim will also incur cost for receiving calls in USA (unless 3 allow receiving calls abroad for free). You would need a USA network paid card to stop that from happening.

    As long as mobile 1 & 2 are UK numbers, yes, it will just be charged as a local call from mobile 1 to mobile 2. Regardless of where mobile 2 is located.
  • If an EE mobile forwards calls to a 3 mobile, it will be charged the same no matter where the 3 mobile is.

    Check that call forwarding is covered by your inclusive minutes.

    3 don't charge for incoming calls whilst roaming in the US.

    Sorry wrong. By that rationale someone calling a mobile in this country would potentially get a huge bill if they didnt know that mobile was out of the country. Its always been traditionally that if you call a mobile then the reciever pays the extra if they recieve a call whilst abroad. The caller it makes no difference.

    But yes, three allow recieving and using your call allowance in the usa.
