India Roaming

Rky — Fri, 07 Jun 2024 18:03:52 GMT

Hi there,

I’d like to know if I’ll be in India for 2-3 weeks and spend cap is zero. I just want to receive incoming SMS like OTP etc so that will be free or incoming SMS is chargeable?

SIM Only Plan - All Rounder Unlimited

Please advise.

Regards,
Raj

@Rky : Where you getting 82p per SMS from? That's the cost of sending only. Receiving SMS is free worldwide.

By sending ROAMING to 150 here it says send/receive sms is 82p thus I asked

Usage in INDIA will be chargeable at the following rate.

The costs from INDIA are:
Calls - £2.52 per minute to make/receive (Incl. Voicemail),
Texts - 82p to send/receive
Picture Messages - 89p per picture
Data - requires data add on

You're all set up to go... but just before you do here are some handy tips

1. 150 is free to text even when roaming.

2. You can amend this at any time by texting SPEND CAP to 150

If you need some more roaming related help you can reply YES now and we'll organise a call back for you within 15 minutes.

If you have got all the information you need, please reply END to finish this interaction.

while in the app the roaming for incoming sms is not mentioned

Well, the 1st msg is wrong about receiving texts, as confirmed by the 2nd msg.
