Receive wifi calls while abroad (roaming off- wireless only)

[Frank4]

Hi,

Will be any charge for me or for the one calling me, while I am abroad (outside europe and outside the countries included on the travel bolt on) to receive wifi calling and having my roaming of?

You wont be able to receive calls using WiFi Calling as this is UK only. 

So if someone calls you whilst roaming, you can only receive them if connected to a Mobile Network

Hi @Frank4 

If you are outside Europe and outside the countries with the O2 Travel Bolt on you will be paying international rates (unless you are eligible for O2 Travel Inclusive)  ie

International Rates

Making calls £2min
Receiving calls £2min
Sending texts 50p

Using data £7.20/MB

Guide: Roaming MegaGuide 

Wifi calling only works in the UK

Advice is to use local Wifi where you can, turn voicemail off, and ask friends and family to download Messenger or Whatsapp which you both use over Wifi at no charge. Also turn voicemail off.

Hi again, 
thanks for the answer.

I am at the moment with my Data on, but roaming off on the mobile. I am connected to a home wifi as I am staying abroad for 2 months while working. At the moment it is connected to a network called VIVO (in Brazil). I received a call from UK on wifi calling. Does it charge me international call? If someone call me from UK, will the person pay international call as well?

The person calling pays nothing different to calling you in the UK but you will be charged for receiving an international call.
