Also assuming your provider charged the limit for roaming charges in the EU then that could be spent on either, or any combination of:

- 664 Minutes of outgoing calls from any EU number
- 2109 minutes of incoming calls from any number
- 2109 text messages

All values are calculated excluding taxes.

Are you seriously telling me that you did not check the prices for the country you were travelling to and never checked your current outstanding balance whilst away and sent up to 2109 text messages or spend 10 hours calling people? >.>

There is no problem using your pay monthly phone abroad as long as you take a few simple precautions and apply a bit of common sense.

However, if you want to use your phone for quite a large amount of data then it is most likely best to get a German SIM and research the best deals for internet usage in germany.
i didn't really ask for a lecture off you but fair enough. reason why it was so high is i had to ring premium numbers out there didn't have a choice maybe i should of stated that before hand.
