Default Cost of calling Virgin mobiles roaming in other countries ?

Until 31st March 2007 one Virgin mobile can call another for 3p per
minutes. The terms and conditions state "Virgin Mobiles in the UK".

I was wondering about calling from a Virgin mobile in the UK to a UK
Virgin mobile that was roaming in Spain. Does it still cost the caller
3p per minute or a higher rate because the receiving mobile is outside
the UK. I know the roaming mobile user will pay 30p per minute to
receive the call.

If the calling mobile is charged more than the 3p per minute, does
anyone know what it is?

Thanks,

W.

But your recipient will be charged for receiving the call. If the call is
trivial, they will not appreciate it!

It doesn't matter where the phone is. The number is a UK Virgin
number, so it costs what it costs to call a UK Virgin number.

Yes, because unlike you, there are some knowledgeable and helpful
people on this NG.

Maybe you would like to help as you appear to be anally retentive.
