Hi, i am on UK network o2 pay monthly, with 500 off peak mins, 50 crossnet off peak mins and 100 txt messages a month. i want to txt or maybe call my sister in south africa, i was wondering would the txt be included under the 100 texts or as its out the UK would it cost and how much. and if calling would a south african network count as crossnet? please give info.
Also would it cost me anything to recieve txt from the south african network.

Will cost no extra to send or receive sms so will be included in your free sms but calls will not count as crossnet to south african networks. Hope this helps

The true cost of a txt from UK to any other country is 35p. If you wish to call SA on your mobile i sugest going into the o2 shop and get them to switch on the international call option which will give you cheaper call charges. Hope this is some help. OWEN

Psycho,
I'm not sure if O2's texts bundle are included for overseas text, not for T-mobile's as far as I'm concern but I truly suggest that you buy an international pre-paid calling card to call SA with your free minutes. It work out cheaper and usually these cards throw in extra free credits and discounts. For instance when you buy a £20 card, you pay £12 (depends on card's company) and £5 extra free credit. So, you'll pay £12 for £25 call credits and they're definitely cheaper than whatever O2 internatinal plan.
