Does one get the lowered reception rate while outside the home country of the sim card only on other calls from eu phones or from all phones. The information is not clear at all to me.

The rates are from all EU GSM-phones to all EU phones. Not for calls outside EU or from outside EU. (some exceptions here as well - for example some count the french overseas terretories to EU, some not. Our german carriers often added some popular hoiday destinations in europe which are not EU as well.)

MATHA531: I think that "receiving a call from any of those countries" is just a grammatical error - IMHO it should be "in" instead of "from".

dg7feq: AFAIK the 4 French overseas territories and Gibraltar must be included in eurotariffs just like 27 member states because they are part of the EU. In Poland all the operators included French territories and Orange excluded Gibraltar.

I think it's a proofreading error, as the page in question has 3 different versions, which I've brought to O2's attention.

They confirm that the intention is that it is the place where you are that counts, not the call origin.

There are non-EU countries on the list, as well as on the slightly shorter one for the free-incoming My Europe Extra option
