Calling from abroad

Hb881 — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 06:02:53 GMT

If I have my data roaming set up to call from abroad, will my UK number show if I was to call someone back here in the UK?

Hi @Hb881

I know you have an Android phone, but which model is it?

Would they know I was abroad when they'd answer the call?

I'm not aware of a way they would know you're abroad when you call them, @Hb881. If they call you, they will probably hear an international dial tone.

Unless you tell the person you're calling that you're abroad, they would have no reason to know you aren't in the UK

It's only the international dial-tone that is the tell-tale sign with an incoming call to your phone.
