Solved: international call charge. Receiving call from UK.

me6 · ‎31-03-2021

Hello,

I am on O2 payg classic. Just the standard account. No add ons.
I am abroad, in Portugal.
What will I be charged to receive a call on my O2 mobile from someone calling me who is in the UK.
I'm aware of the charges for me making a call. Found plenty of info on that!
Did a search but can't find the answer.
Thanks.

There is no extra charge for using your phone in any way at all in the EU as long as you stay within your allowances.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

It's a classic account so won't there be charges receiving calls?

No, not in EU, it's the same as being in UK.

I remember that it was about a pound a minute to receive a call. That was a few years ago though and must have changed.

Thanks for the replies.

It changed on 2017 when the rules on EU roaming changed.
