Hello, I have recieved two texts saying I’m being charged for going abroad, but I’ve literally not left the country! Can I please check I have not been charged anything else on to my bill as I have not left the uk. Thank you.

Turn off roaming! If you’re near the coast or if the conditions are right, you may end up connecting to a foreign network, ferry or ship.

Hello ​@M19turner 

I am very sorry to hear this. Have you been out to sea at all? Have you switched off roaming?
