DON'T make the same mistake me and Hubby made last year
We'd been to
Greece earlier in the year and got passport put onto his tariff to use the phone abroad, it said it'd cost 75p to connect then it would be free from his inclusive minutes there after.
We didn't use it much, as we bought these phone cards for €5 and would get 2hours worth of talk time to uk landlines.
Got home and got the bill and it was only a few pounds for all the connection fees we'd made on his mobile.
Went to
Icmeler in September and used the phone every day ringing back home - I'd be on for over 20mins at a time to my Mom on our walk back to our apartments telling her how lovely it was in Icmeler - basically making the call worth the 75p connection fee as the mins after were free.......
WRONG !!!!!!
Hubby got his bill come through, it was over £200
He got on the phone to Vodafone to ask them what was going on and they said "oh passport doesn't work in Turkey", he explained that they sold it to him saying he'd be able to use it abroad and would only pay a 75p connection fee. They said yes that's right but not in Turkey !!!
Hubby was fuming, they wouldn't make a reduction or anything and he had to pay. As soon as his contract was up he didn't renew.
Needless to say neither of us will be using our phones to ring anyone - perhaps send the odd text but no way will we use it to make calls.
Can you buy phone cards out there or is it cheap to ring home from payphones out there ???
