Hi ​@Rahili,

 

If you're travelling in Algeria and only want to receive calls from the UK, you'll need to make sure that:

  • Roaming is enabled on your iD Mobile account and in your phone's settings.
  • Your bill cap is set high enough to allow chargeable roaming services.

 

As Algeria isn't an inclusive roaming destination, sending and receiving text messages there is chargeable. See how much it’ll cost to use minutes, texts or data when you’re in Algeria, below:

Roaming Pay monthly
Calls to UK* £2.40
Calls to Algeria* £2.40
Calls received* £2.40
Texts to Algeria** £0.60
Texts to UK** £0.60
Picture message (MMS) sent** £0.60
Internet and Data (per MB)*** £1.50

 

* Price per minute.

** Price per message / text.

*** Data is charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
