    Hi

    I am on a 3 monthly contract, the person I want to call is also on a 3
    monthly contract. Does anyone know if I can use my free inclusive call
    minutes and txts to call someone in Gran Canaria or will I be charged extra?

    The table in the link below lists the costs for people in Spain making calls
    to the UK but it doesn't make any comment about call costs for people in the
    UK calling abroad.

    Thanks

    Pete

    Surely you are just charged as if that person were in the UK? The
    person abroad picks up the extra roaming charge.

    Thats what it looks like, I was hoping someone could confirm this.

    If my friend calls me from Gran Caneria it will cost her 80p a min.

    I was thinking I could get her to txt me when she wants to speak to me and I
    can call her back; that way it wouldn't cost me anything as the minutes
    would come from my monthly allowance and my friend would only be charged 30p
    a minute to accept an incoming call - does that make sense? Can anyone
    confirm that this will work?

    Thanks

    Pete

    If you both on the UK 3 network then you pay same rate as if he was in the
    UK. There is no charge for incoming texts while abroad. Calls would be
    charge as if he was in the UK as well but there is a charge for incoming
    calls while abroad.
