What is the Difference between Roaming and International Call?

We have noticed that people still do not know the difference between international calls and roaming. This is why it is easy to confuse rates for your mobile calls. 

Let us shortly remind you the difference between these two terms.

An example of roaming: you live in the UK and subscribe to UK mobile operator. Roaming is when you make calls and receive calls while traveling abroad. Usually this happens during holidays abroad or short business trips abroad. 

An example of an international call: you live in the UK and subscribe to UK mobile operator. When you call from UK to another country you are making an international call. 

MOREmins is a service for people who want to make cheap international calls. MOREmins app converts your mobile network operator's local minutes into international ones for a small fee.

These days subscribers of mobile operators get hundreds of free local minutes. If you cannot use up all your free local minutes, it is worth to consider converting them into cheap international ones. 

It is also worth mentioning that MOREmins app works without internet, so you can make your calls on the go.

But let's come back to roaming. Sometimes we get more complicated questions regarding it. One of them is really popular.

Example: you live in the UK and subscribe to UK mobile operator. Your friend also lives in the UK and subscribes to UK mobile operator. One day your friend goes abroad for a short vacation.

If he/she still uses UK mobile phone abroad, it does not cost you more than usual to give him/her a call (because you call from UK number to UK number). 

On the other hand, your friend pays for receiving your call because he/she receives it when traveling abroad (roaming).

We hope you'll find this information helpful.

Cheers,
