I think roaming charges apply even when you are calling a number in the same county. Really this is already a good solution, it just needs the right tariff.

- concerned_user 7y agoIt says data roaming not calls. There are specialized tariffs for trackers no idea why they didn't use one.
- ymolodtsov 7y agoYou sure you know what options the local carries does provide?
- bbernoulli 7y agoIs this something you'd need to arrange with each carrier? The article says they didn't expect them to fly to Iran.
- peremen 7y agoAs far as I know this kind of additional charge for dialing within the same country exists in some countries, but this should be not confused with "roaming charge" for intra-country roaming.
- 7952 7y agoBut if your SIM is away from the home network it is always roaming. The data will be sent back to the home country. So sending an SMS to a local number is like sending an SMS to a foreign number.
- gambiting 7y agoYeah, except that somehow I found that it doesn't always work this way. I live in the UK, and when I call my mum in Poland using a British sim card, I have to pay extra for making a foreign call. But when she's over here, I can call her for free(using my domestic minutes allowance), even though I'm still dialing a +48 number, the telecom knows that the call is being routed internally and no extra charges are applied. Yes, I was surprised at that too.
