Roaming and using a non-domestic SIM card whilst abroad.GPRS AIRTIME GPRS TARIFFS GPRS RATES GPRS SIMS GPRS CHARGES GPRS ROAMING GPRS COSTS GPRS

Good news! OFCOM have just passed a decree stating that mobile phone operators can no longer charge more than £0.35 per minute for an international roaming call or £0.15 to receive a call whilst roaming.

 

HOWEVER! it also states that this restriction will NOT be applied to the use of WAP, or other DATA services which means that the networks will still be able to charge what they choose. It would also be naive for us to believe that they will not try to recoup some of their losses by increasing the costs of using data whilst roaming.

Important things to consider when roaming with any Non-domestic SIM card;

-You will have a choice of different networks to use. However, the call charges will vary dependent on the network you select.
-You will pay for receiving calls
-Your call charges will be different to those when using your mobile at home. Expect an increase of 300-1000%.
-The peak and off peak times of the foreign operator may differ from your UK operator.
-You may be billed in different increments i.e. per minute instead of per second.
-There will be a surcharge for calling free phone numbers and customer care lines.
