it will whatever it will cost you to rinf her whilst she is in UK

so if she is on giffgaff then it will cost you nothing

however, it will cost her to receive your call. if she is on GG then it will costs her £1 per minute to receive your call

the other alternative is to use appls like whatsapp, skype etc and stay in tuuch that way. your sis could use free hotel wi-fi

hope this helps

Sorry, original post deleted. I assumed you were making an International call, but you are probably calling a UK mobile.

See the answer above. Good pont about a UK mobile being charged to receive a call there depending on their network.

Also, if she is not with giffgaff, or you are not eligible for free gg to gg calls it will be a normal UK mobile call as far as you are concerned.

Get her and yourself on an App like WhatsApp then you cna use Phone data or free WiFi to chat and message,

https://www.whatsapp.com

You can use WhatsApp at free WiFi spots as well and contact all around the World

Then you can use the data from your GoodyBag.You can call/send pictures/message and even video chat(watch data usage).It has very few limits for Calls and Texts/Pictures.

WhatsApp uses only 1meg of phone data for a 5 minute call so a £6.00 GoodyBag will give
2500 mins of calls 🙂

When 5G comes in it will be like using WhatsApp/Viber for calls and messages/video calls anyway.

WhatsApp is more secure than calling and texting the normal way as well.
Since using WhatsApp I barely use normal Calls and Text.it's the way Forward in this Digital age 🙂

Welcome to giffgaff and the community

•If you are considering ringing from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 this is not classed as roaming .

•Roaming only applies when you are using your phone outside the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

•You are probably dialling internationally and therefore the call is not included In your goodybag

•You will still be charged for the call but it will come from your airtime credit as before, which you can buy from here ⬇️
