ROAMING, RO, ROAM What's the diff?

Would someone kindly clarify the exact difference between ROAMING, ROAM & RO when texted to 150? Some users are taking them as abbreviations of each other but I don't think they are.

I know ROAM can take the suffices INT & EU but can it appear on its own & mean something (maybe same as ROAMING)?

I know RO is just asking for roaming costs in a particular country.

Hi @XRaySpeX,

The text commands ROAM and ROAMING perform the same function.

After you receive a reply to either command from 150, it'll then advise that you can text ROAM EU to restrict roaming to EU countries and also restrict international calling, or ROAMEU INT to restrict roaming to EU countries but still allow international calls.

You're correct in saying RO is the prefix for checking roaming costs.

Thanks for your question, please let me know if you need any further clarification.
