Quick question...

Does it cost any more than the standard text cost for people in the Uk to text a UK mobile number when that UK number is abroad?

Thanks

No, it doesn't cost any more.

It might cost the person receiving the text message more though, i.e. they may get charged for receiving it.

The same as if you receive calls on a mobile phone abroad you often have to pay for the incoming calls as well as the outgoing ones.

I'm pretty sure that no UK network charges its roaming customers to receive texts.

It would seem logical that way but the part about being charged to receive txts is incorrect. I have been to many countries and never been charged to receive a text but always to receive calls. It's always the same cost for a UK person to txt a UK number no matter where it is.

Thanks everyone for your answers

Hi there!

It is free to receive texts anywhere - even abroad.
