Several Asian countries feature on the list of 71 included in Three's 'Go Roam' service, which is why I asked which country. This could be used for little or no cost, until they notice prolonged roaming and revert to normal charges.
Incoming texts cost nothing on any network. Call costs will vary between networks, £1.50 - £2+ /min. Personally I never answer a call with such charges, unless strictly necessary for a verification, but call back on my own terms at minimal cost.
I checked my and my country is not in the list.
One option is to keep my partner's SIM with me here in UK in a spare phone. So, I can pass on her messages. I don't think there will be any issues with this. Or, will there be?0 -
We have roamed for 2 years on O2 sims using data/voice/SMS but have recently been warned about FUP surcharges. We now have local sims but we need a very limited and basic UK service for things such as OTP texts which are increasingly used in verifying ID. Any recommendations gratefully received.0
