Which price list applies when calling abroad: the roaming price list or the international one? This article explains the distinction.

Which price list applies when calling abroad: the roaming price list or the international one? This article explains the distinction.

To keep things simple

  • "Abroad" means an EU country outside the Czech Republic; calls to places such as Djibouti are not covered.
  • Only voice calls are discussed; SMS messages are omitted.

The following situations may arise

  1. The author is abroad, has a Czech number, and calls the Czech Republic.
  2. Someone in the Czech Republic calls the author's Czech mobile number while the author is abroad.
  3. The author is in the Czech Republic and calls abroad.
  4. Someone else is abroad, has a foreign number, and calls the author in the Czech Republic.
  5. The author is abroad and calls a Czech number whose user is also abroad.

1. The author is abroad, has a Czech number, and calls the Czech Republic

  • The author pays the roaming call rate according to the price list available here.
  • For a call from Slovakia, for example, the price is CZK 2.50/min (30+1 billing).

2. Someone in the Czech Republic calls the author's Czech mobile number while the author is abroad

  • The caller pays the same price as for a call to another network, while the author pays to receive the call according to the roaming price list, namely CZK 1.65/min (1+1 billing).

3. The author is in the Czech Republic and calls abroad

4. Someone else is abroad, has a foreign number, and calls the author in the Czech Republic

  • In this case, the author pays to receive the call. If someone called the author from Slovakia, the author would pay CZK 1.65/min.
  • A call to the Slovak number prefix +421238, Slovakia (Orange), therefore costs CZK 4.43/min.

5. The author is abroad and calls a Czech number whose user is also abroad
