Ending roaming - totally or just for calls home?
Vodafone have very publicly cancelled roaming charges for this summer. Well done to them! Backed by a huge advertising budget, it seems that calling while abroad will have been much less painfully expensive this year. On arriving in France clear SMSes stating the cost of data (£5/day) and that roaming charges were voided for Passport customers were received.
What wasn’t clear was what the cost of receiving calls would be - or Vodafone-to-Vodafone calls while travelling, or calls within the country. So we wait and see what the phone bills bring up. There is no getting away from the fact that billing is complex, and trying to explain it succinctly does miss out a lot of detail on the many possible charging scenarios.
