Re: Calling a US number when they are overseas results in charge

However, even though I doubt what you say is correct, this is not the issue here.This is not about roaming abroad or calling a foreign number. I -- and the previous poster -- were not calling a foreign number. I was calling a US number from my US number while being in the US. I.e. I should not be charged any fees for calling a foreign number, because I simply did not. if you are outside of usa, any call to anywhere cost money. period. this is absolutely typical of ANY carrier anywhere. Well, this thread is about making a phone call from my US number to another US number while located insidethe United States. So, it is NOT "typical of any carrier". On the contrary, it simply does not make sense to charge the caller for a call when the recipientis outside the US. How is the caller supposed to know? Any such roaming charges are to be carried by the recipient. "My son called someone at their US number when they were traveling overseas. " they are calling US number OUTSIDE of United states. to answer your 2nd question…if you call someone who is current outside of US, they should know not to pick up their phone… for tmobile postpaid, text are free so best way is to just text back and let the caller know to just text. not sure about wifi calling whether it'll be free or not…when i go abroad, i use wechat/line/facebook messager to call friends and family and they are always free even does video calls as well10Visto1like0Comentarios
