What are the charges for calling someone who is travelling with you abroad?

I am going on holiday with family & friends to the US.

I can see the charges for calling home from the US, but what are the charges for calling the other members of my travel group - people with UK phone numbers but who are also in the US?

Hello @sal311

When you call another mobile, it is completely immaterial where that phone physically is - what matters is the call charge for the number you have dialled. It's the recipient of that call that is responsible for the incoming portion of roaming calls - just as you are liable for the incoming portion of calls you receive abroad.

You can view EE's roaming costs for any country using this online tool - this tool should also recommend the Roam Further pass which could reduce your charges if you're abroad for any length of time.

When you call a UK mobile that happens to be abroad you are actually calling "home" to UK & are charged accordingly.
