Last week while @ Lulworth cove on the south coast of the UK my O2 K800 lost signal with O2 and logged on to F Bouygues!!!??? How could this have happened? As far as I can tell F Bouygues is a french network and the point I was at is 62.70 miles from the nearest French coast line!
Weird or what, good job I didnt have to make any international calls to the UK from the UK

That is indeed strange.
However, I do know that when some landline calls are made, they can be routed internationally if the home network is busy or obstructed for some reason.
Doesn't really say much for O2's coverage if signals from France are stronger.

How would they go about charging you for calls?

@Pmerryman
I think there would have to be a roaming agreement first between the networks. Is that not how it works?

Its like 40p a text and like £1.20 a min for a call!

I have been to lulworth many times and found that I have a french network instead of uk. I have even had messages from the french networks saying welcome to france.
