Making/receiving cheap mobile calls abroad

Touser

Hi,

I will be travelling to Dublin and Kavos in Greece in the coming weeks and was wondering if there is any way to make/receive calls cheaper using my mobile while I am abroad, both to my mates mobiles who are on holiday with me and to phones back in the UK?

I'm currently on a pay monthly O2 sim and I have registered my phone for the MyEurope service (35ppm to call/18ppm to receive). Also, while abraod will any texts/calls I make come under my current 'free minutes' allowance or will I be charged?

Thanks.

You will be charged for making calls within your allowance, to receive free calls you might want to consider a "global roaming sim", which gives you a uk mobile number so that it is cheap for ppl back home to call and it will also be free for you to receive calls

Thanks z4kir,

Have you got any recommendations for "global roaming sim providers" that you may have used or that you have heard are any good?

For Dublin, there are, of course, Internet cafe's which also enable you to make cheap phone calls around the world. There are two, to my knowledge, on O'Connell Street, Dublin.

As for Greece, it depends on whether you stay in any big cities.
