However, the calls/texts will not be free for her. In other words she will incur international charges because this is how <a href="http://www.howtocallabroad.com/qa/international-roaming.html">international roaming</a> works. </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/calling-a-mobile-abroad-from-ones-host-country#post-728 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:58:37 +0000 DanielJames 728@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>My girlfriend has an English mobile with her back in Portugal. Is it true that I could text this for free from my English phone here in England despite the distance/crossing of borders to send the message?</p> <p>Also, does the same apply for calling?</p> <p>Could someone explain the rules please?</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Dan </p>
