The call is _charged_ as an international call, as the person in Not wrong at all. If I'm in the UK, have a foreign mobile on the desk beside me and use my fixed line to dial that foreign mobile, the call is switched in the normal way to the foreign mobile operator. The foreign mobile operator then routes the call to the network being roamed on. Two international calls, one international mobile charge to the call originator, one roaming charge to the mobile user. The scenario you describe would work for mobile to mobile calls /if/ the appropriate commercial and technical arrangements were in place. The stumbling blocks with anything of this nature are usually the commercial arrangements. -- Marc Cornelius
