o2 My Europe Extra - Interesting Possibility

I have been told that short-code sms work across borders, but found that one sent from German Vodafone to top up a German Voipcheap account did not work, just charging me the price of an ordinary roaming message.

Talking of which, sms callback from Voipcheap is another option, which I did use several times last week. (I haven't subscribed my O2 to RC yet, only 3.)

About petkow's queries, I think that the RC 5p 0870 rate must be a mistake, but then I never expected the 2p rate for landlines to last either. Most Finarea/Betamax brands don't like 07744/07755, including RC (rings with no answer); in fact 18185 is the only one I know. You might use a choice of forwarded numbers as the second keg though.
