Receiving call from UK when abroad

Can anybody confirm if I receive a call from a UK mobile to my UK mobile number whilst I'm abroad on holiday, will I be charged?

The country I'm in doesn't allow you to make it receive calls via WhatsApp annoyingly!!!

Thanks,

Holly

Hi, I'm on Dubai so would cost me £2 for 4G

Thanks,

Holly

Hi @Holly147 it won't cost you anything to receive calls when in the UAE, it also won't trigger the £2 charge if you just receive calls.

That is correct so you can receive calls with no charge. Mobile data is restricted to 25GB.

A handy link to check out the costs is this one:
