Orange provides the cheapest incoming call rates of any UK mobile network when roaming including other networks optional discount schemes, and these calls, of course, are always charged per second.

Roaming with your Orange phone often costs significantly less than calling card services or using a hotel phone AND you don't have the hassle of finding change, buying phonecards or tokens or dealing with complicated hotel switchboards with unintelligible tariffs.

As of February it is now very easy to work out the roaming costs, as Orange have now implemented the UK's first flat rate international call charges, which is good value and removes the complex charging of before:

Or if you wanted to find out the cost of making calls from abroad, for example from South Africa, you send the message 'FROM SOUTH AFRICA' to 159. Orange will then  send you a text back telling you how much it is. It's that simple, and free when used from the UK.
