World traveller:does picking up UK calls trigger the £5 daily fee?

Hi 

I am backpacking in Indonesia for some time. I have opted into world traveller and just wanted to check exactly what triggers the £5 charge- if I only pick up one uk call all day will I be charged? Or is it only if I proactively make the call?  Will the £5 charge be triggered if I receive a text? On the world traveller page it says receiving calls and texts from the U.K. dont invoke extra charges, I just wanted to check if this was in general or on top of the £5 daily world traveller fee.

 

thanks! 

Laura

Receiving calls and texts are free and the £5 charge only starts when you make a call, send a text or use data.

 

Data is the one to watch as lots of apps update in the background. To make sure that you don't use data unknowingly ensure that mobile data is switched off in your settings.

Oh great, that's brilliant news! So i can pick up phone calls and it won't incur the charge? 

 

Thank you!
