Will I be able to receive SMS sent from UK when I am overseas? If so, will I be charged and how much?

Hi ​@joeywun 

 

It completely depends where you’re roaming, we’d recommend checking the following;

Hey there ​@joeywun, where are you going abroad please?

 

You need to ensure that roaming is enabled via both the iD Mobile app/website to allow for roaming to work for all calls, texts and data.

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Well, my concern is whether it will be free to receive UK SMS overseas, or I will be charged for each SMS I received. If I will be charged, now much for each SMS?
