You are wrong, go look on the virginmobile site and stop arguing with people who know what they are talking about

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I did go on the site and it does say they charge

What you pay for:
You’ll pay to receive calls, as well as make them.
Friends in the UK will pay the standard UK rate to call you.

Give up, look properly for the country you are going to, not just a generic search :eek:

If you find this funny, you have some problems with your SOH. I did notice that you keep overusing the ROFL smiley.

I can add that typically you keep using it when you run out of arguments - that happens pretty often.

Sainsbury's and Three do charge for Turkey so what's the point of quoting them.

To show that your supposedly general statement "You should be paying for receiving calls whilst roaming abroad" was untrue.

What's the point in quoting Sainsbury's alone ?

IMO, Sainsbury's Mobile is sort of a benchmark for low roaming charges. If they charge 7p, it's very unlikely (yet not impossible) that some other network charges 0p.
And I can only repeat that I said this to "confirm that most likely you were right", so we have nothing to argue about here.

Since when did Turkey become part of the EU?

It isn't, but EU hasn't stopped being 'abroad' yet.

Does this mean that they should be charging in EU then?

You have a lot of these :rotfl: in your post.

And as I've told you before when I use them it's to show that I find it funny and that I'm laughing at your post.

And as I pointed out the website also says you should be paying.

Fair enough, however it seems it is correct even though I thought it wasn't

It doesn't itemise on that page.

Great work ....however it is just a repeat of the cut and paste that we have already discussed in post #3 !!!
Try reading the thread instead of jumping in at the end :rotfl:

To solve the issue and enable the OP enforce his ability to claim the charges back .............
It seems charges for receiving calls in Turkey (and Switzerland)was scrapped by Virgin this time last year.

Outside the EU

From 18th August 2014 the cost of using your phone in some non-EU countries is also changing. If you are travelling outside the EU, check out the new charges in the table below.

Region 5
Switzerland, Turkey
Calls 75p
Receiving Free
Texts 25p
Data 50p/MB

So it seems for those travelling to Turkey, Virgin is a winner for receiving calls and deserves promoting to those travelling there.
Pity all the others outside the EU are charged still at £1 per min though

That makes you an even bigger idiot for posting what you did then. You had been shown the correct figures, disputed them, and now are trying to use them to advance the crap you've written.

Do you often browse the internet whilst under the influence?

We hadn't been shown the correct figures we were using the interactive drop down price check for Turkey which showed £0 ....being as the OP had been cut off for being charged for incoming calls it was easy enough to assume a glitch
The site may have been a glitch on Turkey prices showing £0, added to the fact almost every other country outside the EU was charged it seemed to me there should have been a charge .....turns out Turkey and Switzerland are now exempt and have been for a while.
The OP now has the page, that doesn't rely on interaction and will be able to contest the charges.


As for your insults about crap try keeping them to yourself instead of making a fool of yourself
