Is it free for a French number to text/call my UK mobile when I am in France?

in Mobiles
Does anybody know whether EU roaming covers a phone in the country concerned calling/texting my UK mobile number while I am there, or will they have to pay as if they were calling abroad? I know it is free for me to call/text both French and UK numbers whilst I am there and for UK numbers to text/call me, but I can find no information on whether this extends to French numbers contacting me.

No, it'll be the same cost as if you were in the UK. It's still routed through the UK and then back to you.0

That's what I suspected, thanks for the info.0

You, of course, mean 'included in my tariff' rather than 'free', don't you?
and +1 to what Jon said0 -
