Wind Roaming - Can you send SMS?

**Wind Roaming - Can you send SMS? -** 08-05-2010, 10:53

I have looked at the wind website and there are prices for calling / receiving calls (or video calls) while roaming.

But I can not find a mention about SMS prices.

Can you send SMS while roaming? If so, is it the same cost when not roaming, or extra?
Do you have to set any settings on the phone to activate Wind Sim while roaming (in the UK)?

Thanks...

Oh and another roaming question...

If you have the Wind "Internet No Stop" offer, can you use the free internet from that offer while you are roaming?

Or will you be charged a roaming fee?

the prices are the same wrote here PrePaidGSM: Wind (Italy)

(obviously

) on roaming you pay data (and voice/text) per use

Thanks, not really sure how the data works for a text. So you pay the normal price of the sms + the data costs to send the sms? Is that right? How do you know how much data a sms uses? :S

SMS don't use any data. SMS in EU cost 0.13 cent, outside they cost 50 cent or more, as written on that page. That's ALL what you pay
