    Hello! Calls to UK are 35 pence/min, 14 pence to/min to receive. Text 10p (free to receive) - This is the roaming charge if you are in the Phil... U are in Uk now, right? May I suggest you use Lebara na lng to make a call to philippines. It's cheaper. 15 pence/min lang yun. Suggestion lang naman.

    May I just ask lang po... How long did it take for you from the time you received the determination letter po until matawagan kayo ng embassy para ipasa yung passport mo? thank you.

    Texts can cost upto 40p depending on the contract, as you have to pay the internatiol fee on top of the normal text charge.

    You can SMS through Skype for 5p, but sometimes it can take a while for the message to get through.

    Best way to find out is check your bill amount, send a text, then check it again.

    You can phone the Phil for as low as 8p/min

    hello everyone thank you for all your response. I will be back to Phils this few week. Me and my partner are both in o2, will my partner still be charge if he will send message to my o2 roaming no? Coz in Philippines it will cost nothing if you send international message as long as you have same network and the number is in roaming.

    maybe you'll be better using international calling cards? there's a sim card called lebara and they only cost you 10 p a text and no hidden charges. hope i helped =)

    Thank you for the response, emmscrow. I'm so glad to hear that it only took you 2 months to wait. Hope i'll get the same result. Wish me luck! Please include me in your prayers. Thank you.
