International calling charges without service pass

[CowboyStovetop]

Hi all,

I recently activated a plan WITHOUT any international calling added. 

I was wondering if this means when I dial or pick up an international number the call will fail? Or if the call will go through and I get an international surcharge appended to my account. 

I am worried about this because sometimes I accidentally pick up scam calls that are actually international calls, and I don’t want to get surcharged. 

Thanks!

Hi there, @CowboyStovetop. Welcome to the Lucky Mobile Community, and thanks for your post.

Due to the rates of international calling, Lucky Mobile users are unable to make international calls without first having a Service Pass activated as an add-on on top of their plan. You can find out more on what countries are included in which Service Pass on our page on International Calling Add-Ons

Do keep in mind that incoming calls are considered local from your perspective and you would not be charged international rates. With that said, a common rule of thumb is if you do not know the number calling, do not pick up and let it go to voicemail first. 🙂

Let us know if you have any further questions. Best wishes.
