  But yes, *technically* it's "an international call" because you have
to prepend the country code of the destination, which you don't have to
do for an in-country call.
 
  So it's "an international call" and it needs roaming to work, but it's
not more expensive than an in-country call.

 
Actually you can add the country code to all your calls and the
operator/network works out whether it's local or international. Makes life
a lot easier when storing and dialling contacts when away from home.

  Yes, I know and that's what I do as well. I just pointed out the
*need* to prepend the country code for "an international call", to
distinguish between "an international call" and an in-country call in
this context of in-EU roaming.

All my UK numbers start with +44 regardless of whether I call from home or
abroad.
