Mobile calls,

[eatherall]

when you make a mobile call abroad, I assumed the caller pays the bill, as per land lines. is this true or not.

Well if a person uses a Spanish phone in England to phone Spain, they both pay half the call costs.

[sanlou26]

As far as I'm aware, you both pay. You for making the call and them for recieving it. This happened to me in France and Portugal.

[lou 26]

it is not true, as pre other posts. You have to pay to make the call and them to recieve it, i would also be very, very wary of roaming charges too. I was caught out once with an horrendous bill because of it....never again!

If you are on pay as you go, for example with O2, you can get a "Euro bolt on" which effectively halves the cost, from memory down to 70p ish from about 145p per minute.

Yeah last year it cost me 66� to receive calls and text messages from Spain whilst in England.

THIS APPLIES TO UK ONLY

If you make a call when abroad to the UK, you pay approx (depending on network and country you're calling from) �1.50 per minute.

If you're abroad and someone from the UK calls you on your mobile, the person RECEIVING the call in the foreign country pays approx �1.50/�2.00 for receiving the call (the person making the call is charged at normal UK rate for a mobile to mobile call).

You pay as much as your call would cost, were the callee in the country in which the callee's phone is registered.

If he is abroad, he will have to pay the difference.

Which is only fair, if you think about it.
How are you to know where the other person is currently.
You think you are calling him in Kent, and are being charged for a call to HongKong. That would not be right!
