I am off to Turkey in a month.  If while there i divert all my calls to my voicemail will this incur a charge when i divert a call?

 

Also will i becharged for recieving a text message in the same sencario?

Hey there ​@TheBountybear, thank you for your question, and we hope the help from ​@andewhite has been able to help.

 

As he’s mentioned, receiving texts would be free no matter where you are. If you set up call forwarding to voicemail before going abroad, you wouldn’t be charged for the calls going to your voicemail.

 

Thanks,

Tyler

    SMS text messages are free to receive wherever you are, ​@TheBountybear. 

    Not sure about divert to voicemail, though if you do this before leaving the UK, can’t see why you’d be charged when someone else leaves you a voicemail. 

    You’d probably be charged for accessing your voicemail while roaming in Turkey.
