International Calls & Texts From the UK
Making International calls & texts from the UK are always chargeable & are not included in any allowances. Some might mistakenly believe that they count towards roaming allowances but when in the UK you are not roaming.
International calls & texts can be rather expensive but EE has a free add-on that anyone, on PAYG or £2.16 on contract, can apply for to give these calls & texts at a fraction of the standard rates. To do so just text CALL ABROAD to 150. It will then last forever on your account.

Good morning,
@XRaySpeX, where are costs for sending text messages on the payg list? you provided.
I don't often call abroad, but do send load's of text, because it's faster and more convenient!! 😊

@Profile closed: It's under the 4th column of the table labelled "Text". It's 10p / text to any country.
