    If they need to call you, it is probably best that they instead send you a text asking you to call them back.

    Yes. But there is a charge to text whilst roaming but its proabably only 5-7p a text.

    a missed call is free & alerts them to call you!

    There is no charge unless the phone answers. Anyway O/H only has to pay 4.9p a minute to receive, for you there is no charge to make the call. That is your original question answered. thanks for the thanks

    Hi Guys, need a bit of info please.
    does the roaming charge have to be switched on, on her cheap LG phone?? Not a smart phone.It's PAYG.
    It's off, at present.

    3 UK and Mobile by Sainsburys both offer free incoming calls in ROI.
    Meteor (ROI network) and 3 IRL offer free incoming calls in the UK.

    Work out which is best for you...

    Thanks Heng. OH already has her phone, uk , t mobile sim, just want to know if roaming has to be enabled, so that she pays the charge, 4.9ppm, or, can it be left off. Not up with phones afraid
    .I will not pay, part of my TT mobile package.as I will be doing all the calling, not her.

    You need roaming turned On.
    but Roaming should be enabled by default.
    Check with the operator
