Texting a UK mobile that is abroad........whist abroad......

Just looking for a quick answer from someone to settle a discussion about dialling codes in advance of a Stag Do.....

Going on a stag do, having T shirts printed with a PAYG number for Text-A-Dare

We will be in Bratislava, Slovakia, we will have UK EE PAYG number, senders will be a combination of in the UK (airport etc) and in Slovakia

In order to receive the messages people send whilst in Slovakia, do I display the number as normal or with +44 etc...?

You'd best display the no. as '+44...' so everybody can dial it correctly.

Hi @bhp_addict,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

People sending a text from a non UK mobile would need to include the international dialling code.

Have a great trip.
