EU roaming when calling a number outside the EU?
score:5
Accepted answer
Answering my own question, mostly based on @Relaxed's comments.
Calls outgoing outside the EU are not covered by new EU regulations, the operator can charge for them as he likes.
This can be seen by reading the EU regulation, Article 2 (definitions), 2.f (emphasis mine):
‘regulated roaming call’ means a mobile voice telephony call made by a roaming customer, originating on a visited network and terminating on a public communications network within the Union or received by a roaming customer, originating on a public communications network within the Union and terminating on a visited network;
However, the information provided by the EU on its web page is, IMO, misleading. It doesn't mention the exclusion of calls outside the EU in any way, implying that they're included.
The Tesco Mobile Ireland site does mention this exclusion, but the mail sent to me doesn't.
In the bottom line - this seems like an important pitfall, which should have been made clear, but the high charge is legal.
