Do I pay to receive calls and texts abroad?

[KeithL2]

I am about to go abroad for a while and wanted to check if I have to pay anything to receive phone calls or texts on my UK mobile whilst I am there.

Hi @KeithL2,

A warm welcome to our Community Forums and thanks for your post. 

This does really depend on where yo are travelling to. 

We have some useful info here that will help - Using Virgin Mobile Abroad

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Many thanks

Thanks for that.  It's New Zealand that I am going to.  I couldn't find the cost to receive a text but I did find the cost per minute to receive a call.

You're most welcome Keith.

You can find out more about the costs in New Zealand here 

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks Ayisha.  It still doesn't mention receiving a text unfortunately.

Thanks Keith, you are correct!

I have just followed up on this for you and it would appear that there is no charge for receiving a text abroad hence it not being listed.

Sending a text would cost 50p though per message.

If you do encounter any issues, just give me a shout.
