What's that got to do with the key question about calling voicemail?Yes, looked at GoMo but couldn't see any option to have any international minutes included. i.e. International calls are charged extra, per minute. We have family and friends in both US and UK so I make quite a lot of use of international minutes.
Good suggestion, thanks. I already use WhatsApp extensively, including for WhatsApp calls. But I also need to be able to call several international landlines.Would WhatsApps work for the international calls?
I presume you're on Tesco Mobile then @Protocol ? Are you on PAYG or bill pay? If the latter, do you keep a close eye on your bill?You mean ringing 171 to listen to voice messages?
I never knew there is any special price for that?
I presume it simple comes out of my unlimited mins?
@Thirsty asked had I looked at GoMo so I answered. But I can't see an option with them which includes international calls, so that rules them out for me.What's that got to do with the key question about calling voicemail?
Tesco Mobile told me that it cost €0.20 per minute. I see that same figure on the following page but it's ambiguous to me whether it only applies to prepay (PAYG) or applies to bill pay also.I didn't think that carriers charged for calling voicemail - at least not when in Ireland, not sure about when roaming abroad?

Thanks @demoivre , ever since your post I have been meaning to reply and never getting around to it, until now. This was a great suggestion and indeed I did move to Lycamobile, including porting my number over, which went fairly smoothly. I am using the 'Go Unlimited' plan which currently includes unlimited minutes, SMS and data plus 100 international minutes to various countries, at €10 per 30 days for the first 12 auto renewals (so roughly the first year).Check https://www.lycamobile.ie/ for International plans. They use the Three network.
Are you asking a bit much for great customer service where they are probably making a quid or two a month out of you?Thanks @demoivre , ever since your post I have been meaning to reply and never getting around to it, until now.

Unfortunately though, I've needed to contact their customer support several times and it has been universally awful. It's bad enough that I've decide to move to some other provider even though I'm sure I'll have to pay more.
Summary: If you never need to use customer support (good luck with that!) then as far as I know, the price can't be beaten for what it includes. However, customer support is dreadful.
I still appreciate the tip though!
