Just a quick reminder to those going abroad to try and avoid the outrageous normal costs of receiving calls when abroad (as well as making them) Check the website of your operator to see what offers they have. I'm on 02 and have just rang them to set up my international roaming (think i'm already on it but just making sure) as their normal costs are over 70p a minute, this gets it down to 35p a minute which is still over the top but better. 02 also have a pay £10 for a month and receive calls for free and then 25p a minute to ring. Might be better for those who got massive bills in Istanbul for chatting all day. EDIT - 02 claim it will take up to 72 hrs to work and you'll receive a text to confirm.
