If you are roaming (for example, you take your Spanish mobile to the UK) and receive a phone call (from a friend in Spain) you pay for that (because your friend can't be expected to know you're abroad).

Not anymore. At least between the 28 Europe Union members. https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/roaming https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/roaming

  Not exactly, you can still get charged if you spent the majority of your time in the last four months abroad.

    I realized I wasn't clear: they can start charging you, not charge for calls already made :) The relevant rule: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/faq/frequently-asked-questions-roam-home#272 https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/faq/frequently...

  But that's not the point. Take a country where this doesn't apply as example, then.

This always seemed weird to me when texting someone. How am I to know that this will cost me a euro for 160 characters instead of being free, when it's to a national number, just because they chose to have a holiday in Bangladesh this weekend? But as for the receiving end, paying for receiving calls and texts only applies during holidays. It's not the standard case so whatever. Apparently that's different abroad.
