Roaming Bulgaria

I have a sim only contract and will be going to Bulgaria soon, I am finding it a bit confusing as to what i need to do, I doubt if I need to use my phone whilst there but if I am texted would it cost to read the text.

I am on a sim only mothly contract, I text 150 with RO Bulgaria and I received a text saying roaming had been switched on, does this mean I will be charged £2.47 a day till I stop? Or are you only charged if you use the phone?

Thanks

Texts are free to receive worldwide.

If you are on contract, just remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure the roaming ability is enabled on your account.

If you are on PAYG, just make sure you had already used your PAYG SIM to make a call or text in the UK.

Roaming charges are incurred when you do any of the following outside the UK: Making or receiving calls, sending text messages or using mobile data.

Merely connecting your phone to a foreign network is free of charge.
