£1 to read a text?

Hi we're flying tomorrow to Bansko, and I heard it was £1 just to read a text on a locked sim. I've just read another thread about unlocked phones and to buy sims out there, but it's too late for us, so I wonder if anyone has any good advise on what to do? THANKS Very Happy

text messages 30 pence not a quid

Try this ......... it costs nothing.

When you get to the airport, turn off your phone, put it in your glovebox and forget it!!!!!!

Works really well Wink

Just got my phone bill from two weeks ago.I only used it for texts.20 Pence per text ! I think it depends on which network you are on.Our local Telecom company here in Jersey have an agreement with the Bulgarian network we were on. I agree with P.P. though , turn the bloody thing off for complete peace of mind. Razz
